Sting – Consider Me Gone chords

[Verse 1]

          C#m

There were rooms of forgiveness

            C#m

In the house that we share

                C#m

But the space has been emptied

                  C#m

Of whatever was there

                 C#m

There were cupboards of patience

                 C#m

There were shelf loads of care

               C#m

But whoever came calling

            C#m

Found nobody there

 

 

[Chorus]

            G#

After today, consider me gone

 

 

[Verse 2]

                       C#m

Roses have thorns, and shining waters mud

                        C#m

And cancer lurks deep in the sweetest bud

                  C#m

Clouds and eclipses stain the moon and the sun

                 C#m

And history reeks of the wrongs we have done

 

 

[Chorus]

G#

   After today, consider me gone

 

 

[Verse 3]

                     C#m

I've spent too many years at war with myself

                      C#m

The doctor has told me it's no good for my health

                        C#m

To search for perfection is all very well

                      C#m

But to look for heaven is to live here in hell

 

 

[Chorus]

            G#

After today, consider me gone
