They Weren't There - Missy Higgins

Capo on 2

Intro: A F#m D E

You [A] breathed infinity into my world and 
[F#m]time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl. 
[D]We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and 
[E]lay there for the [A]night. 
Then you said,[F#m] "wait for me [D]we'll fly the wind, 
we'll grow [E]old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh[A], 
now my [F#m]world is at your feet. 
I was [D]lost and I was found, but I was [E]alive and now I've drowned. 

(F#m F#m E F#m) 

So now I will be waiting for the [A]world to hear my song so they can tell me 
[E]I was wrong... But they weren't [F#m]there beneath your stare, 
and they weren't [D]stripped 'till they were bare of any [A]bindings from the world 
outside that [E]room. And they weren't [F#m]taken by the hand and led 
through [D]fields of naked land where any [A]pre-conceived ideas 
were blown [E]away... so I couldn't (F#m) say "no"[D]. 

A F#m D E

You [A]sighed and I was lost in you,[F#m]weeks could've past for all I knew. 
[D]You were there blank
