Once again I lend my poorly trained guitar skills to putting some David
Gray chords out there. If anyone else feels like doing the same, then go
right ahead.

This song is my own personal favourite.

Gathering Dust - David Gray  (From "A Century Ends")

Chords used:

Gadd9 320033         Cadd9 032033
(you'll just have to work out the strumming for yourselves)

Gadd9            Cadd9
I got no reason
Gadd9            Cadd9
but that I must
Gadd9           Cadd9
maybe I feel
                Gadd9            Cadd9
like I've been gathering dust
Gadd9                              Cadd9
I must leave this harbour for the sea
         Gadd9                            Cadd9
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
         Gadd9                       Cadd9
but I don't know where I'm wanting to be
       Gadd9                    Cadd9
I just know I have to be there alone

D          C
Stole my time,
D        C
all my time
D         C
stole my time,
Gadd9    Cadd9    Gadd9   Cadd9
for you

(the other verses and choruses are the same)

Pale winter sun
is beating the ground
why am I throwing away
the best thing that I've found
my young hearts in tatters and I'm sure
that it will be a long time healing
its so hard to see what I'm doing this for
when loneliness is all that I'm feeling

Stole my time, all my time
spent my time, for you

CHORUS
Now the wind it is blowing
blowing leaves from the trees
I've got no use knowing
that with time it will ease
I don't know where I'm going
hope I get there soon
cos my soul is hollow
as the sorrowful moon
na na na na...

chorus

Oh the night is raining on my weary head
taking my back

See the sun spread wings of gold
as the dawn unfurls
hear the song that the moon sings
to the darkened world
feel the fire lighting
in the bitter cold
its the light that shines
through the windows of your soul
windows of your soul
