As If You're Here

[Intro ]
G Em Bm A 
G Em Bm A 


[Verso 1]
 
         G    Em Bm             A 
So it's just goodbye, my dear friend 
          G   Em          Bm       A 
And it's all I'd give to see you again 
          G  Em Bm                           A 
But it's all I have, this song you'll never hear 
          G   Em       Bm                   A 
And it's all I, all I play, and I feel you near 
F#m                F# 
 As if you're here 
 


[Refrão]
 
  G                   Em 
I play it through the night 
  Bm           A 
I play it to deny it 
  G                 Em 
I played it loud to fight it 
    Bm            A 
But now I play it quiet 
 


[Verso 2]
 
  G 
I substitute what almost was 
     Em 
To embrace eventuality 
     Bm 
Everyone you lose that you can't reproduce 
          A 
And the endings prove to be tough to refuse 
        G 
I tried constant positivity 
        Em 
I tried toxic constant positivity 
       Bm 
No, it really doesn't work for me 
      A 
The illusion proved to be worse than the truth 
     F#m                F# 
So I play this song to pictur you 
 


[Refrão]
 
  G                   Em 
I play it through the night 
  Bm           A 
I play it to deny it 
  G                 Em 
I played it loud to fight it 
    Bm            A 
But now I play it quiet 
 


[Ponte]
 
        G 
So it's just goodbye now, my dear friend 
         A 
And it's all I'd give to see you again 
         G 
But it's all I have, this song you'll never hear 
        A 
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near 
             G 
So it's just goodbye now, my dear friend 
         A 
And it's all I'd give to see you again 
         G 
But it's all I have, this song you'll never hear 
        F#m 
Play it quiet through the night, I feel you near 
  F# 
I feel you near, I feel you near
