Pedestal

Intro:

Cmaj7                 G          Em 
Driving the same road not much to see 
Cmaj7                     G         Em 
Going toward weather more suited to me 
Cmaj7                      G         Em 
Ending this whole thing by waving my hand 
Cmaj7                  G             Em 
I hope that you don't forget what we planned 
 

 
    G               A7 
For years down the road 
 G           A7 
When we both grow old 
     G            A7            D 
But we don't have time for that now 
G A7 
 

 
A13          D   G A7 
So you stay here 
    A13       D G 
And I'll go on 
         A            Bm       G        D       A7 
But I'm leaving this pedestal empty to put you upon

Cmaj7                     G           Em 
Dates and persimmons are filling the room 
Cmaj7                     G         Em 
Not leaving space for my sorrow and gloom 
Cmaj7                       G           Em 
I'm glad you're not here so don't try to be 
Cmaj7                    G         Em 
I like you just how you are around me 
 

 
G           A7 
Even though I 
G               A7 
Don't have much time 
G                 A7          D 
We don't have to finish this now 
G A7 
 

 
A13           D G A7 
So you stay here 
A13         D G 
And I'll go on 
          A          Bm         G       D 
But I'll think about us playing house everyday 
         A7 
That I'm gone 
 

 
Bmaj7 E       Bmaj7 E     Bmaj7  E       A7 
You say what she said it sounds just as wrong 
Bmaj7 E    Bmaj7 E      Bmaj7 E A7 
Maybe it's best that I didn't stay long
