The Proposal

	  		

Intro: G 

G 

Living in your absence  

        Bm 

I see memories when I cry 

        C 

I hear songs in the key of silence 

        G 

I'm not ready yet to die 

G 

Every breath I laugh out loud 

        Bm 

Like a poem with no rhyme 

C 

It means nothing to me now 

        G 

It'll mean everything in time 

Chorus 

Em      C               G       D        

Oh this crazy superstition 

Em                      C               G       D 

You'll find love, just you wait your turn 

Em              C               G       D 

I ain't got no time for intuition 

Am                      C               G       C        

Let's build this bridge together, watch it burn 


G 

Looking back at my sweet life 

        Bm 

In an empty dirty glass 

        C 

I can see a man and wife 

        G 

Trading tales about the past 

G 

Such a dangerous game to play 

        Bm 

The only way to be 

C 

Ask me nicely and I might say 

G 

Will you run away with me 

Chorus 


Bridge 

G       C       Bm      D,  

G       C       Bm      D 



G

Last line, single strum on the Am, C and G, letting the G ring
