G             C              G
I didn’t know I was in love with you until you were gone
           C      G                  D/F#
I was just lonely, I just needed someone
            Em          C           G
To share my nights with, to turn me on
                                     D/F#           G
I didn’t know I was in love with you until you were gone


[Chorus]
         Bm                  C
I am not heartless, I am not thoughtless
             Am  Am/G Am/F#  D
But I can be careless as a child
           Bm                 Em
I can blow caution in a smoke ring
          C C/B Am7 Am7/G D/F#
And disappear into the wild


[Verse 2]
                        G       C              G
But I didn’t know about silence until you were gone
                C    G               D/F#
The last show’s over, the curtain is drawn
                    Em      C                     G
I never saw so many sunsets, I never saw a single dawn
                            D/F#           G
I didn’t know about silence until you were gone

[Verse 3]
               G      C         G
The record you gave me I put it on
                  C              G                    D/F#
The needle didn’t jump this time, it played the whole song
              Em  C               G
It sang about all, it cried about none
                                     D              G    C
I didn’t know I was in love with you until you were gone
                                     D/F#           G
I didn’t know I was in love with you until you were gone.
