Pyre

[Verso 1]
 
D                   Em 
When you get home Guddu 
Em7            A7             Bm 
Shirt smelling smoke from the pyre 
                 F#7         G 
Things scattered round will remind you 
              Gm6                D    Dm7 
This place is mine and I'm still here 
 


[Refrão]
 
D7                      E7 
Scratch on the bathroom door 
Em7       A7                 Bm 
Remote control worn out from use 
                 D7             Gadd9         E7 
Empty wheelchair sitting in the middle of the floor 
        Em7         A7 
Where I watched BBC News 
 


[Verso 2]
 
D                              Em 
Your Facebook posts & LinkedIn boasts 
Em7    A7               Bm 
As you scaled the stratosphere 
             F#7              G 
Flew from my sight to distant coasts 
             Gm6                D    Dm7 
You left the nest and I'm still here 
 


[Refrão]
 
D7                          E7 
Glasses refract the morning sun 
Em7        A7              Bm 
Misshapen hazy but I could see 
          D7               Gadd9      E7 
TOI will come but won't be read by anyone 
       Em7                 A7 
So say 'bye to Taneja from me

[Ponte]
 
          G                   D 
It's your world, I was just a guest at the table 
         Am                      Em 
I tried so hard but could never find 
   Am            Em                    G 
My seat among the able, the financially stable 
                   Gm6                     D    Dm7 
Never had what you had, but this place was mine 
 


[Refrão]
 
D                         E7 
My school books ragged and torn 
Em7             A7         Bm 
From all the classes I taught 
                   D7                Gadd9       E7 
Computer screen is quick to wake but frozen with porn 
   Em7                        A7 
Unwatched now that I'm just a thought 
 


[Verso 3]
 
D                  Em 
When you wake up Guddu 
   Em7            A7             Bm 
Surrounded by the flotsam of our years 
           F#7        G 
You'll be reminded by everything around 
          Gm6                  Dm7 
My pain is gone, but I'm still here
