Here in the garden

Dm
Let's play a game

C                         Cm
I'll show you how it's done

G
Here in the garden

Dm
Stand very still

C                  Cm
This'll be so much fun

Em
And then she smiled

B7
That's what I'm after

G
A smile in her eyes

A7
The sound of her laughter

G
Happy to listen

Dm
Happy to play

C                    Cm D   G
Happily watching her drift away

G
Happily waiting

Dm
All on my own

C                  Cm
Under the endless sky

G
Counting the seconds

Dm
Standing alone

C                        Cm
As thousands of years go by

Em
Happily wondering

B7
Night after night

G
Is this how it works?

A7
Am I doing it right?

G
Happy to listen

Dm
Happy to stay

C                    Cm D   G
Happily watching her drift away

      F              C        G
You keep on turning pages for people who don't care

Dm                      C       Am
People who don't care about you

F                        C      G
And still, it takes you ages to see that no one's there

Dm
See that no one's there

C                      Am
See that no one's there

                       F
Everyone's gone on without you

G
Finally something

Dm
Finally news

C                   Cm
About how the story ends

G
She doesn't exist now

Dm
Survived by her son

C                        Cm
And all of her brand new friends

Em
Isn't that lovely?

B7
Isn't that cool?

G
And isn't that cruel

    A7
And aren't I a fool to have

G
Happily listened

Dm
Happy to stay

C                    Cm  D7
Happily watching her drift

Cm   D7
Drift

Cm  D7      G
Drift away
