Kings of Convenience - Singing Softly To Me

Capo: 4th fret

[Intro]
Em7 Am7 Em7 Am7

[Verse]
Em7
Things seem so much better when
Am7
They’re not part of your close surroundings
Em7 Am7 Bm7
Like words in a letter sent amplified by the distance
Em7
Possibilities and sweeter dreams
Am7 Em7
Sights and sounds calling from far away
Am7 D7
Calling from far away

[Chorus]
Em7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
G7 B7 Em7
I couldn’t hear you singing softly to me
G7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
Am7 Em7
I didn’t see the brave girl so near me
Em7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
Am7 Em7
I couldn’t hear you sing softly to me
G7 Cmaj7 Bm7
Sing softly to me

[Verse]
Em7 Am7
I wanted a mystery that couldn’t be solved
Gmaj7 Em7 Am7 Bm7
I wanted a puzzle with pieces missing
Em7 Am7
I wanted a story that couldn’t be told
Gmaj7 Em7 Am7 Bm7
Only the fishing part of fishing

[Chorus]
Em7 G7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
G7 B7 Em7
I couldn’t hear you singing softly to me
G7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
Am7 Bm7
I didn’t see the brave girl so near me
Em7
I didn’t know you then, now did I, girl?
G7 Am7 Em7
I couldn’t hear you sing softly to me
G7 Cmaj7
Sing softly to me

[Outro]
Bm7 Cmaj7
And now I find
Bm7 Cmaj7
It was you all the time
Em7 G7
In love again, love again
Em7
It’s too late now
Gmaj7 Am7
I’m in love again, love again
Am7
It’s too late now
Bm7 Em7
I’m in love again, love again
Em7
It’s too late now
Am7
I’m in love again, love again
Am7
It’s too late now
Em7
I’m in love again, love again
Em7
It’s too late now
Am7
I’m in love again, love again
Am7
It’s too late now
Am7 Em7
