LYRICS:
play intro during the verse, play intro tab, shown here by chords G D7/F# The house is dark the house is cold Em CaddG The wood stove had been out for hours G D7/F# Gsus4 G Gsus4 G I did not know I did not know you were going away
You took the kids you took the car You took all the things you felt you owned I did not know I did not know you were going away
G D7/F# I feed the dog I light the fire Em CaddG I read your note one more time G D7/F# "This house is empty this love is gone" Em CaddG You said "I'm through living a lie" G D7/F# Gsus4 G Gsus4 G I did not know I did not know you were going away
CHORUS I must be blind I must be deaf I must be thick as a wall I must know nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all play intro tab with ad-lib
In my sleep I reach out To an angel in my dreams She tries to speak but I wake up Before I hear what she has to say I did not know I did not know you were going going away
CHORUS I must be blind I must be deaf I must be thick as a wall I must know nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all Nothing at all play ending Oh nothing I must have nothing I must know nothing nothing at all Nothing at all
