A Complicated Truth

 
               B                                 F#sus4        F# 
The trees are swaying out the window and you're not with me today 
            B/D#                         E 
You're with him and that's okay, that's okay 
               B                                      F#sus4            F# 
I hope you're running 'round in circles, hope you're laughing till you drop 
               B/D#                                E 
I hope you're feeling safe, I hope you're feeling loved 
              B                                       F#sus4       F# 
The days are longer when you're not here, I've been staring at the sky 
          B/D#                           E 
Wondering what I used to do with all my time 
         B                              F#sus4        F# 
You're a universe of starlight bursting out of every seam 
         B/D#                            E 
And the house is so damn quiet when you leave 
 

 
            C#m                               F#sus4           F# 
You've been asking lots of questions lately, trying to figure out 
         C#m                               F#sus4 F# 
Why the endings in your books don't match ours 
         C#m                            F#sus4             F# 
And it breaks my heart tryna find some words you'll understand 
             C#m                             F#sus4 F# 
'Cause baby, nothing about this was in the plan 
 

 
B                                          E 
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth 
     C#m                    F#                       B 
I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you

          B                             F#sus4            F# 
From the moment I first met him, I knew everything would change 
       B/D#                         E 
Your daddy woke my heart up in the kitchen that day 
    B                           F#sus4         F# 
He wore no metal armour, rode a vesper, not a horse 
         B/D#                       E 
But I'd never felt so seen and so adored 
    C#m                                 F# 
We loved each other's faulty parts, we kissed each other's wounds 
         C#m                        F#sus4 F# 
Till one day we were opening them too 
       C#m                                    F# 
And I know your books don't end like that, I know it's hard to take 
    C#m                      F# 
A promise is a promise you say 
 

 
B                                          E 
All that I can tell you is a complicated truth 
     C#m                    F#sus4 F#                       B 
I'll always love your daddy, but now our love is something new

         C#m                              F# 
Now I'm walking past your empty bedroom, turning off the lights 
         C#m                            F# 
And I'm hoping that he's tucked you in tight 
           C#m                            F# 
Because I haven't had the answers lately, haven't known what to say 
         C#                    F# 
When you ask me why love runs away 
 

 
     B                                 Bmaj7        E 
And all that I can give you are these complicated truths 
 C#m              F#                          G#  B/D# E 
Sometimes happiness is the hardest thing to choose 
         C#m                    F#                       B 
But I'll always love your daddy, 'cause together we made you
