Go West

[D]

Oh no malice doe[F#m]s exist

in these wo[Bm]rds I am now writing [G]

Although one mig[Em]ht catch

the faintest glance at sorrow   [A]

I'm but tryi[Bm]ng hard to grasp

all these fra[G]gments as they're passing

Piece the puzzle[Em] now

before the trail grows cold     [A]

And I'm not asking f[G]or the answers

in [F#m]mathematical equations

to be cu[Em]lled and calcula[D]ted

by unbiased[G] hands

[G]For at truth I am so stricken

And I dar[A]e only to forever dance

Which pro[D]ves I am the better broken half        [G]

Oh and I am but the bitter bet[A]ter half          [D]

[D] (play Intro and some tricky hammers :-) )

[D]In my ca[F#m]llous speculations

They leave n[Bm]o room for calm or reason   [G]

I have pla[Em]ced myself in altars that are ho[A]llow

So ade[Bm]pt at finding weakness

I smell [G]fear and close my fists

Unaware the sten[Em]ch I'm smelling is my ow[A]n

So yeah, you le[G]ft me and I'm bitter

And my p[F#m]ride is shocked and raw

For I be[E]lieve I will be changing roads n[G]o more

I [G]know that life is full of dead ends

But I sa[A]w us as a highway

E[D]ver stretching on from coast to golden coa[G]st

Oh, but now inst[A]ead I'm singin'

[D]Go west, Emily [A]

Grab your boots an[G]d find yourself somewhere[A]

I'll [D]find another lover [A]in the east[G]

I said go [D]west, Emily   [A]

Yeah you know [Bm]you've got my blessing    [G]

But you can'[D]t expect these eyes of mine [A]         [G]

to watch you leave [D]

So with no ma[F#m]lice I'll begin

just once m[Bm]ore to tell our story[G]

Though the endin[Em]g I may never hope to kn[A]ow

You were a swe[Bm]et and sound companion

Though our pa[G]ths led us apart

And I may never sl[Em]eep so soundly as I did[A] while in your arms

Now all I as[G]k is you remember who you lo[F#m]ved and who you lost

Please don't [Em]bury me in silen[D]ce

Or blackest sh[G]roud of thought

Don't pr[G]etend that what we had was any l[A]ess than what it was

For I will n[D]ot soon be forgetting the reasons wh[G]y

we fought so hard to make it wor[A]k

But [D]Go west, Em[A]ily

Grab your boots an[G]d find yourself somewhere[A]

I'll [D]find another lover [A]in the east[G]

I said go [D]west, Emily   [A]

Yeah you know [Bm]you've got my blessing    [G]

But you can'[D]t expect these eyes of mine [A]         [G]

to watch you leave [D]

to watch you leave

[D]Go west, Emily [A]

Grab your boots an[G]d find yourself somewhere[A]

I'll [D]find another lover [A]in the east[G]

I said go [D]west, Emily   [A]

Yeah you know [Bm]you've got my blessing    [G]

But you can'[D]t expect these eyes of mine [A]         [G]

to watch you leave [D]
