D                                    G
I don't know if you notice anything different.
Bm                                               D
It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long.
D                               G
And I don't know if you even notice at all,
         Bm           G       D
That I'm long gone babe, long long gone

[Chorus]
Bm                              G              D
And the things that keep us apart keep me alive and
Bm                         G             D
The things that keep me alive keep me alone.
        F       Bb            Bm       F G D
Mmm-hmm mmm-hmm... This is the thing

[Verse]
D                                    G
I don't know if you notice anything missing,
Bm                                                       D
Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes all over the floor.
D                               G
And I don't know if you even notice at all,
Bm                                         G
'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door.

[Chorus]
Bm                              G              D
And the things that keep us apart keep me alive and
Bm                         G             D   Dm   D
The things that keep me alive keep me alone.
        F      Bb          Bm         F G D
Mmm-hmm mmm-hmm... This is the thing

[Bridge]
D  Dm

[Outro]
Bb                                    Am   Dm
I don't know if you notice anything different
Bb                                    Am   Dm
I don't know if you even notice at all
Bb                                    Am   G F D
I don't know if you notice anything different
            D
This is the thing.
