[D]Everything is qu[G]iet [D]since youre not a[G]round
[D]And I live in the n[G]umbness
[G]In the background  [D]     [Bm]        [A]
[D]I do the things we did be[G]fore
[D]I walk haight street to the s[G]tore
And they say [D]wheres that crazy girl
You dont get drunk o[G]n red wine and fight no more
[D]I dont see you anym[G]ore since the hospital

The p[A]lans I make still have you in them
Cause y[Bm]ou come s[A]wimming into vie[D]w
And Im hanging on your w[Bm]ords
Like I a[A]lways used to [D]do
The words they use so l[Bm]ightly
I o[A]nly feel for yo[D]u
I only know because I[Bm] carry you ar[G]ound
[N.C.]In the background   [D]      [G]
Im in the background [D]    [G]

[D]Words they come and memories all re[G]peat
[D]I lift your head while they change the hosp[G]ital sheets
An[D]d I would never lie to you no
[G]I would never lie to you no
[D]I felt you long after we were th[G]rough, we were through

The p[A]lans I make still have you in them
Cause y[Bm]ou come s[A]wimming into vie[D]w
And Im hanging on your w[Bm]ords
Like I a[A]lways used to [D]do
The words they use so l[Bm]ightly
I o[A]nly feel for yo[D]u
I only know because I[Bm] carry you ar[G]ound
[N.C.]In the background

Well [Bm]you come sw[A]imming into [D]view
And Im hanging on your w[Bm]ords
Like I a[A]lways used to [D]do
The words they use so [Bm]lightly
I [A]only feel to y[D]ou
[D]I only know because
[G]Im way Im way in the background [G]
Im in the background [D]
