    A7sus2
Everyone  I know is lonely
C7sus2
God is so far away
        A7sus2
And my heart belongs to no one
     C7sus2
Soon are sometimes I pray
A7sus2
Take the space between us
C7sus2
Fill it up some way
D7sus2
Take the space between us
A7sus2
Fill it up
A7sus2
Fill it up

Oh my God, You take the biscuit
Treating me this way
Expecting me to treat You well
No matter what You say
How can I turn the other cheek?
It's black and bruised and torn
I've been waiting
Since the day that I was born

A7sus4     A9sus4 D A9sus4  D
Fill it up

Chorus:
A7sus2
Take the space between us
C7sus2
Fill it up some way
D7sus2
Take the space between us
A7sus2
Fill it up
A7sus2
Fill it up
A7sus2
Fill it up
        A7sus4 A9sus4 D
Fill it up
        A9sus4 D
Fill it up
        A7sus4 A9sus4 D
Fill it up
        A9sus4 D
Fill it up

The fat man in his garden
The thin man at his gate
My God, You must be sleeping
Wake up, it's much too late

Chorus

E9  E7sus4 E9           A9sus4 D
You went  back to tell a story
         A9sus4
Of a thousand rainy days
D             A7sus4 A9sus4 D A9sus4  D
Since we first met

           A7sus4     D
It's a big enough umbrella
           A7sus4           D          A9sus4 D A9sus4  D
But it's always me that ends up getting wet
