The absence of God will bring you comfort, baby
    D                  Dmaj7            G                F#m
and planning's for the poor so let's pretend that we're rich
        Bm x 2               Asus4        A
and I'm not my body or what I choose to do with it
D                 Dmaj7          G       A
Folk singers sing songs for the working, baby
D              Dmaj7               G                   F#m
We're just recreation for all those doctors and those lawyers
           Bm x 2
there's no relief for their heavy hearts
                Asus4     A
cause they'll be losing bodies tonight

    Em          A            F#m      Bm
And Rob says maybe love won't let you down
Em          A           F#m       Bm
all of your failures are training grounds
    Em   F#m  G    A      Bm            A/C#   A7
and just as   your back's turned you'll be surprised he says
       A
as your solitude subsides
D Dmaj7 G A
           D                      Dmaj7
We could be daytime drunks if we wanted,
                  G                   A
we'd never get anything done that way baby
          D         Dmaj7         G         F#m
And we'd still be ruled by our dueling perspectives
           Bm x 2
and I'm not my story or perspective
        Asus4          A
or the lies I'll tell you every time
D D7
    Em            A                  F#m       Bm
And Rob says you love, love, love and then you die
     Em      F#m G     A   Bm   A/C# A7         A
I've watched him while sleeping and seen him cry with closed eyes
D Dmaj7 G A

    D                           Dmaj7            G             A
And you're not happy but you're funny and I'm tripping over my joy
D                   Dmaj7           G    A
 but I just keep on getting up again

F#m               Bm
 Teach you how to swim
            F#m            Bm
you turn the bad in me into good again
Em F#m G A Bm A/C# A7 A
D D7
    Em             A            F#m          Bm
And I say there's trouble when everything is fine
    Em           A               F#m             Bm
the need to destroy things creeps up on me every time
    Em   F#m G     A     Bm   A/C#   A7
and just as love's silhouette appears
                          A           D       D7
I close my eyes and disappear with you tonight
   F#m                  Bm
and something's got to change
         F#m                   Bm
cause our love's the slowest moving train
Em F#m G A Bm A/C# A7 A

The absence of God will bring you comfort,         baby         and
