 * Key: C

 

Am         C            G               F

Knowing just to rotate and revolve

Am            C

The world went on alone

Leaving me here, fate still unresolved

With you still on the phone

Telling me that my guilt you’d absolve

For I could not have known

Rising against the tide I resolved

Then came the dial tone

 

F

Now I don’t think about you

Dm

I don’t feel a thing

F

I’m not that wretch you rescued

Dm                                 G

Not that bird with broken wings

F

No I don’t need to get through

Dm

I don’t need a thing

F

I’m not about to beg you

Dm

Or try to pull at your heartstrings

 

[Intro]

 

Watching it would have left me enthralled

Were it not close to home

Living it, though, was far more involved

The reaping of the sown

Passing time must have left me evolved

The world went on, if slow

Something tells me that if you had called

I would not have known

 

[Chorus]

[Intro]

 

F          Dm      Am       G

I would recommend it, my

Am       F           E7

Moving on from what we left be-

F        Dm              Am         G

hind, I know you’re on cloud nine

Am   F          E7

Happier and realigned

n.c.

Fine

 

Knowing just to rotate and revolve

The world went on alone

Leaving me here, fate still unresolved

With you still on the phone

Telling me that my guilt you’d absolve

For I could not have known

Rising against the tide I resolved

Then came the dial tone

 

[Chorus]

[Intro] x4

Am
