I wanna ask you, but you won't tell me what you need
Em C Dsus4
You're an expert at this science, at the silence inbetween
Em C G
And now we've buried it so deeply we cannot guess its shape
Em C Dsus4
And the gravity we give it even I cannot escape
C/A G C
Woah-oh, we keep revolving in this way
C/A G Csus2

Why would you think I'd be so weightless
When all I can do is bring you down
Why would you think that I would want you to be so weightless

A little something more for all you've thrown away
G/B Csus2
Yeah, yeah
Why would you think I'd be so weightless
When all I can do is bring you down
Why would you think that I would want you to be so weightless

When I need you here -- why would you
