[Intro]
D G D G x3
 
[Verse 1]
D               G
Everything is quiet 
D                G
Since you're not around
D                  G
And I live in the numbness 
G                  D  Bm A
In the background
D                        G
I do the things we did before
D                            G
I walk haight street to the store
             D
And they say where's that crazy girl
                    G
You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more
D                  G
I don't see you anymore since the hospital
 
[Chorus]
     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm                       D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And I'm hanging on your words
                      D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
                  D
I only feel for you
                     G
I only know because I carry you around
N.C                D  G
In the background
                     D  Bm A
I'm in the background
 
[Verse 2]
D                                  G
Words they come and memories all repeat
D                                          G
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
  D
And I would never lie to you no
G
I would never lie to you no
D                               Bm             A
I felt you long after we were through, we were through
 
[Chorus]
     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm                       D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And I'm hanging on your words
                      D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
                  D
I only feel for you
                     G
I only know because I carry you around

And I'm hanging on your words
