    ABSENCE OF THE HEART  Dean Carter

Fm            F#    Fm                 F#
I write you letters but I don't send them
Fm                       F#     G#
I just can't figure out how to end them
Fm             F#   Fm                 F#
I try to reach you you're right beside me
Fm                                F#    G#
There's something missing and we can't deny that

CHORUS:
C#          F#            C# 
We live together separate-ly
    F#               Fm
We don't wanna fall apart
           F#       G#
But every time we kiss 
             F#    B
There's an empti-ness
      G#            C#
An absence of the heart


Fm              F#   Fm               F#
How did we lose it? Why did this hap-pen?
Fm                   F#       G#
When did we take it all for granted?
Fm          F#      Fm           F#
We sit in silence inside we're crying
Fm                   F#        G#
How can we keep our love from dying?

Chorus, lead, chorus, chorus

ENDING:
Fm            F#     Fm                F#
I write you letters but I don't send them
