The Longing Song

Jen Cloher


Tom: C

Verse - F and C 
F                     C 
There's songs about longing 
F                    C  
cause longings all I do 
F                     C 
If I could count the hours 
F                      C  
I spent longing after you 
 
Pre-Chorus - G and F 
G                F      
You say you are just what you love 
G                  F 
I'm not so sure I like what I've become 
 
 
Chorus - C, Am, G, F 
C 
But its true 
                   Am 
I'm falling after you 
                  G      
until I'm proven wrong 
                 F 
that's what I'm gonna do 
                C 
like a russian worry doll 
                        Am 
I'll sleep beneath your pillow 
                  G 
I wonder if she hears 
                        F 
the prayers I whisper there 
 
Other lyrics 
Verse 1 
There's songs about waiting 
bause waitings all I do 
the necessary patience 
to find something as good as you 
 
Pre-chorus2 
They say you'll find if you cannot look 
well I'm not so sure just who wrote that book
