Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Arpeggiate open A chord

I wanted to find a hollow

 a place to fill the empty in my mind

My silence had me caving inwards

 and I longed for us to speak between the lines

And when I'd find that hollow

 I'd leave every trace of it behind

I'd have known you'd follow

but this hollow was for me alone to find

Or so I thought

Or so I thought, oh what a fool

Chorus

Oh what I was, oh what you are

these are the strangest times

Has my young love faded out of sight?

Oh where we were and where we are, they're not so far apart

We'll set off for that hollow at first light, yeah we will, yeah we will

At last we reached the hollow

 we sink down in the moss upon the ground

 My compass had been helter skelter,

like a fly in a fish bowl buzzing round

 Your heart against my chest a-humming

 it sings your song of sorrow to me now

But my songbird shall not wallow

drawn back to this secret we have found

And I hear the water rushing down below

it doesn't matter now, oooooh

[Repeat Chorus]

[Cello solo over A and E]

[Repeat Chorus x2]

[Last line slower]

Oh and we were, oh and we are
