Thirteen Years Without Peter King

[em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] (tacit)(bass enters)
[em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em]
[em] [am] [G] [B] [em] [em] [em] (tacit)

(tacit)                                [em]
The years are short just as the day is long
It was me on the corner
It was only me when you were looking
[am]     [G]        [B]      [em]
Not to kneel to anyone else, get it Pete

(tacit)                                  [em]
It's been thirteen years and a couple of days
since that cab blew that light and dragged you away from us.
                        [am]        [G]           [B]         [em]
And I still wonder what you might think, what you might say
It's been thirteen years and a couple of days.

(tacit)                      [am]
And now it's far too late to go
[D]                    [G]  [G/F#]  [em]
 No one ever saw the show
                            [am]
Blame the witches blame the saints
No one cares which ones are [B]fake
                        [em]
And we'll never need to know.

                      [am]
It was far to soon to go
[D]                         [G]  [G/F#]  [em]
 You never get to see the show
                             [am]
Call all the witches and the saints
The ones who were real, the ones who were [B]fake
                       [em]
Call them and let them know

(each chord here represents two beats)
[em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] [em] (tacit)

(tacit)                 [em]
Would you want to play along
Would you approve but now you're gone
                                  [am]
So I'll never know the jokes, the lengths
   [G]                 [B]            [em]
To which you might go, I'll never know

(tacit)                                  [em]
It's been thirteen years and a couple of days
Knocked out of your boots and flown through the air
                         [am]   [G]     [B]      [em]
Ending conversations now I'll never get to hear

(tacit)               [am]
It was far to soon to go
[D]                         [G]  [G/F#]  [em]
 You never got to see the show
                               [am]
Call all the witches, call the saints
The ones who were real, the ones who were [B]fake
                       [em]
Call them and let them know

                             [am]
And now it's far too late to go
[D]                                           [G]  [G/F#]  [em]
 We've missed the parties, we've missed the shows
                                 [am]
Dancing's for witches, guilt's for saints
Who cares more is a de[B]bate
                       [em]
And I guess I'll never know

Now it's far too late to go
[D]                    [G]  [G/F#]  [em]
 No one ever saw the show
                          [am]
Blame the witches and the saints
No one cares which ones are [B]fake
                     [em]
And we never need to know

                            [am]
No, no it's far too soon to go
[D]                                       [G]   [G/F#]   [em]
 Don't miss the parties, don't miss the shows
                               [am]
Dance with witches, drink with saints
Do you care which ones are [B]fake
                       [em]
If we go we'll never know
