The Hollow In Retrospect

	  		Intro 

D A D Bm D A D 

verse 1 
             D 
They told me drink till she's pretty enough 
        Bm 
Drink until she's the wine on your tongue 
           E                      Em 
Kiss to forget, sleep when you're dead 
                  G             A 
Love while you're young and it matters 

verse 2 
             D 
They told me breathe her like second-hand smoke 
        Bm 
Let her stain your hands and seep in your clothes 
           E                         Em 
Dance to remind yourself that you're dying 
               G           A 
And honey that I'm no different 

Chorus 
                   Bm         G             D 
Cause we're always waiting to kiss till the sun's down 
      Bm        G               D 
Never looking into each other's eyes 
               Bm          A          F#      Bm 
If you are the hollow then I'll be an echoing sound 
          G            Gm           D 
If you're darkness I'm drawn to the night 
   Bm 
night 


Interlude 
D Bm 

verse 3 
       D 
Are we nothing but swings at a park 
     Bm 
Just kids hooking up in the dark 
            E                      Em 
Hiding from wars we claim to fight for 
     A 
One another 

verse 4 
            D 
You're like fireflies trapped in a jar 
         Bm 
You're a prison without any bars 
             E 
You make me alone 
                   Em 
You're soft like a stone 
              A 
Hitting the water 

Chorus 
                   Bm         G             D 
Cause we're always waiting to kiss till the sun's down 
      Bm        G               D 
Never looking into each other's eyes 
               Bm          A          F#      Bm 
If you are the hollow then I'll be an echoing sound 
          G            Gm             Bm 
If you're darkness I'm drawn to the night 
              E        Em 
Drawn to the night 
          Bm 
Drawn toooo the night 
       E Em 
ni-i-i-i-ight 

Verse 5 
     D 
I am still just as empty tonight 
      Bm 
I was fucking you so you would not ask me why 
       E                        Em 
I'm so sad, if I still love you back 
            G  A 
Darling I'm sorry 

Chorus 
               Bm        G          D 
That we always waited to kiss until sundown 
        Bm         G                D 
I could never look straight in your eyes 
            Bm         A           F#       Bm 
You are the hollow and now I write echoless songs 
           G             Gm           D   
You're the darkness where I lost the light
