Skirmish: Whoever Said Out of Sight... (@cbmagic)Liner Notes
For skirmish of a similar title
This one uses my John Daniel Sopranino Ukulele
#fuc #sopranino
ADDED VIDEO with slightly edited lyrics and better scanning of one awkward line in the original recording.
Lyrics
Intro: (F) (G) (C)
(F) Out of sight, out of mind
I (C) reckoned I'd left all that behind
(F) Made a clean break or so I thought
But my (C) thoughts in your (G) spider's (C) web are caught
My thoughts in your (G) spider's web are (C) caught
(G) What you don't see won't hurt you
Ex(F)cept if your memory's (C) clear
You're (G) hiding just behind my eyes
(F) Whether you're far or (C) near
I (F) thought a thousand miles distance
Would (C) drive you from my head
But (G) maybe I'll only forget you
When I'm (F) lying on some (G) slab stone (C) dead
CHORUS
I've (G) torn up all your photos
De(F)leted your image on my (C) phone
But des(G)pite my desperate actions
Your (F) face won't leave me a(C)lone
I (F) try my best to forget you
I watch (C) endless series on TV
But (G) every second actress
Reminds me of (F) who you (G) used to (C) be
CHORUS
(G) Memories can be a blessing
But (F) memories of you are a (C) curse
(G) Lying in my bed at night
My (F) dreams just make it (C) worse
It (F) seems you've got inside me
And you're re(C)luctant to let go
When (G) I'll be cured of this addiction
I (F) guess only (G) God really (C) knows
Repeat last line
