"In the Grass"
        by Arthur Hughes

        "What is more precious than finding life,
        finding joy, finding love?
        It's finding you...
        You gave my soul a place to rest..."

        Intro:  F#  Ebm 
        
        
        
        F#                                                       Ebm          
        
        I guess I thought you'd be here forever
        
        Another illusion I chose to create
        
                B                                    F#     Ebm
        
        You don't know what ya got until it's gone
        
                  B                                  C#   D  E
        
        And I found out just a little too late
                 A                                                       F#m
        
        I was acting as if you were lucky to have me
        
                                                                        D
        
        Doin' you a favor I hardly knew you were there
        
                                                       A       F#m
        
        But then you were gone and it was all wrong
        
               Bm                           E     F G
        
        Had no idea how much I cared
        
        
        
        Chorus:
        
                 C                      
        
        Now being without you
        
                     Em                          F
        
        Takes a lot of getting used to
        
                                               Fm
        
        Should learn to live with it
        
        But I don't want to
        
        C                   
        
        Living without you
        
            Em
        
        Is all a big mistake
        
             F     
        
        Instead of getting easier
        
                   Fm
        
        It's the hardest thing to take
        
                   G
        
        I'm addicted to ya babe
        
                      G#   Bb        C        
        
        You're a hard habit to break
        You found someone else you had every reason
        
        You know I can't blame you for runnin' to him
        
        Two people together but living alone
        
        I was spreading my love too thin
        After all of these years
        
        I'm still tryin' to shake it
        
        Doin' much better they say that it just takes time
        
        But deep in the night it's an endless flight
        
        I can't get ya out of my mind
        Chorus
        
        
        
        2nd Chorus
        
             C#                      
        
        Being without you
        
                    Fm                          F#
        
        Takes a lot of getting used to
        
                                               F#m
        
        Should learn to live with it
        
        I don't want to
        
        C#
        
        Being without you
        
            Fm
        
        Is all a big mistake
        
             F#
        
        Instead of getting any easier
        
                    F#m
        
        It's the hardest thing to take
        
                  G#
        
        I'm addicted to you
        
                      A     B         C#
        
        You're a hard habit to break
