[Verse 1]
D               G   D                G
Everything is quiet since you're not around
D                  G
And I live in the numbness 
G                  D  Bm A
In the background
D                        G
I do the things we did before
D                            G
I walk haight street to the store
             D   
And they say where's that crazy girl
                    G
You don't get drunk on red wine and fight no more
D                  G
I don't see you anymore since the hospital

[Chorus]
     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm       A               D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And I'm hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
   A              D
I only feel for you
                     Bm           G
I only know because I carry you around
N.C                D  G 
In the background
                     D  G
I'm in the background

[Verse 2]
D                                  G
Words they come and memories all repeat
D                                          G
I lift your head while they change the hospital sheets
  D        
And I would never lie to you no
G
I would never lie to you no
D                               G
I felt you long after we were through, we were through

[Chorus]
     A
The plans I make still have you in them
       Bm       A               D
Cause you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And I'm hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                       Bm
The words they use so lightly
   A              D
I only feel for you
                     Bm           G
I only know because I carry you around
N.C                
In the background

[Bridge]
[D  G   D   G]
                    
      A
Cause I felt you long after we were through

[Solo]
[Bm G Bm G Bm G]

[Chorus]
     Bm         A           D
Well you come swimming into view
                        Bm
And I'm hanging on your words
        A             D
Like I always used to do
                      Bm
The words they use so lightly
  A             D
I only feel to you
D
I only know because
G                               G
I'm way Im way in the background
                     D
I'm in the background
