[Verse 1]
E
High or low,... Where’d ya go?
                                          Esus     A    Asus2 A
Are you stuck in the middle? A spectral invisible ghost
              E     G A D E
I’m here juxtaposed
     D         A              E   G A D E
Like images of angels in the snow
     D            A                    E   Esus E
Our courage melts away, it comes then goes
 
          E
Where ya been?,... Can I find
                                                Esus         A   Asus2 A
A glimpse of my friend, don’t know where or when one of us left
           E     G A D E
The other behind
   D                  A            E   G A D E
Divisions came and troubles multiplied
   D                A                E   Esus E
Incisions made by scalpel blades of time
 
 
[Chorus]
G  A        E   Esus E
Comes then goes
G  A        E    E
Comes then goes
 
 
[Verse 2]
       E
Can I say,... how ya been?
                                      Esus           A   Asus2 A
I can guess and conjecture my altered perceptions unclear
           E      G A D E
Please interfere
 D                  A            E    G A D E
Sadness comes, with it a sea of tears
        D                A            E      Esus E
Would some love be best had it not appeared?
 
         E
Is this you?.. Here I stand
                                     Esus       A   Asus2 A
Intense recollections of pain self-neglecting again
             E         G A D E
Like you, I keep it in
   D                  A                   E  G A D E
Thought you found a game where you could win
      D       A             E   Esus E
It’s all vivisection in the end
 
 
[Chorus]
G  A        E   Esus E
Comes then goes
G  A        E   Esus E
Comes then goes
Bm A        E
Comes and goes

[Verse 3]
        E
High or low,... Try again
                                     Esus           A   Asus2 A
She fell off the altar a vision you caught her but then
              E  G A D E
A woodcut in red
   D               A                E  G A D E
I wish it was not you that she had led
 D           A              E  Esus E
Selfish navigation with no end
 
            E
Where’d ya sleep?
                                                  Esus          A   Asus2 A
Can I find, a deeper connection in the face of rejection I’m trying
     E      G A D E
I’m trying
D               A               E   G A D E
Evidence in the echoes of your mind
D              A                   E   Em E
Leads me to believe we missed the signs
 
       E
Can I try,... One last time?
                                    Esus       A     Asus2 A
Could all use a savior from human behavior sometimes
                  E      G A D E
And the kids are alright
     D          A                    E  G A D E
The Queen of Collections took your time
 D                    A              E   Em E
Sadness comes ‘cause some of it was mine
 
 
[Chorus]
G  A        E   Esus E
Comes then goes
G  A        E   G A G E
comes then goes
Bm A        E  G A G E
Comes and goes
Bm A        E
comes and goes
