They Weren’t There Missy Higgins
[B] [Abm] [E] [F#]
[B]You breathed infinity into my world
[Abm]And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
[E]We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and [F#]lay there for the nigh[B]t.
Then you sa[Abm]id, "wait for me[E] we'll fly the wind,
We'll grow[F#] old and you'll be stronger without him"
[B]But oh now, [Abm]my world is at your feet. I was l[E]ost and I was found,
But I was [F#]alive and now I've drowne[B]d.
So now I will b[Abm]e waiting# for the wo[E]rld to hear my song.
So they can t[Abm]ell me I[E] was wr[F#]ong.
But they weren't [Abm]there beneath your stare,
And they weren't str[E]ipped 'till they were bare of
Any bindi[B]ngs from the world outside that roo[F#]m.
And they weren't ta[Abm]ken by the hand
And led through f[E]ields of naked land
Where any [B]pre-conceived ideas were blown awa[F#]y.
So I couldn't [Abm]say "[F#]no"[E].
*repeat same chords for the rest of the song*
You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
I wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "You're too young to even know,
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
So now I will be waiting# for the world to hear my song.
So they can tell me I was wrong.
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
So I couldn't say "no".
