Jack Savoretti - The Proposal

      The Proposal - Jack Savoretti

Intro: G

G

Living in your absence 

        Bm

I see memories when I cry

        C

I hear songs in the key of silence

        G

I'm not ready yet to die

G

Every breath I laugh out loud

        Bm

Like a poem with no rhyme

C

It means nothing to me now

        G

It'll mean everything in time

CHORUS

Em      C               G       D       

Oh this crazy superstition

Em                      C               G       D

You'll find love, just you wait your turn

Em              C               G       D

I ain't got no time for intuition

Am                      C               G       C       

Let's build this bridge together, watch it burn


G

Looking back at my sweet life

        Bm

In an empty dirty glass

        C

I can see a man and wife

        G

Trading tales about the past

G

Such a dangerous game to play

        Bm

The only way to be

C

Ask me nicely and I might say

G

Will you run away with me

CHORUS

Last line, single strum on the Am, C and G, letting the G ring
