A F#m E
A F#m E

[Verse]
A               F#m E A  F#m E
You severed the stone intently thrown
A                  F#m  E              A        F#m  E
At the bird in the alley tucked back behind St. Joe's
A            F#m               E          A         F#m  E
Half for the windshield of the car across the steet
A              Bm          C#m           D         E
The other half lost to the void like the feeling I had back then

[Chorus]
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
D         A  E           F#m               D
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do
D         A  E           F#m               D
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do

[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A                F#m         E            A              F#m    E
You thought up a poor lie to veil how the bird died when adults came by
A                        F#m         E              A             F#m  E
And questioned us in the office kids went to in the worst of times
A           F#m                E             A      F#m  E
That was before you brought me down to the basement
E       A             Bm          C#m           D         E
Where a part of me is lost to the void like the feeling I had back then

[Chorus]
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
D         A  E           F#m               D
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do
D         A  E           F#m               D
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do

[Bridge]
A           E       F#m      D
I think I'm doing okay these days
A             E         F#m     D
It's just the pathos of all things
A            E          F#m      D
I called you up just so I could say
A          E            D
It will be here even if you're not
A          E            D
It will be here even if I'm not

[Chorus]
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
A    E           F#m               D
Do you feel this same thing that I do?
D         A  E           F#m               D
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do
D         A  E           F#m               D   A
Mono no aware  feel this same thing that I do

[Outro]
A              E          F#m          D
Remember how I brought up Marguerite's hands
D       A         E        F#m      D
To illustrate the flesh we ate back then?
D            A      E     F#m       D
When grandma slowly faded from Alzheimer's
D      A        E             F#m   D
Like a lifeless steak in that empty diner
D         A       E     F#m     D
It now reminds me of my failing grasp
D      A        E       F#m       D
Of the present, memory, self, and past
D         A       E     F#m     D
It now reminds me of my failing grasp
D      A        E       F#m
Of the present, memory, self, and past
