Albert Camus Uke tab by Tom Rosenthal (Baritone Chords)

[Intro]
C#m D F#m
C#m D F#m

[Verse 1]
C#m            D             F#m
  Did you ever read Albert Camus?
C#m             D                    A                         E
  The bit about how you got to turn away from the world to understand it
                  C#m
Did you feel this too?
          D                F#m    A     E
I was in a mindless kind of queue
                   D               F#m
But then I went and put myself right out

Found things just got a bit wilder


[Chorus]
D             F#m
  Haven't you heard right?
D                A
  It's a truly absurd life
D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big hole
        E                       D
And the next day you could be a king
                   A
Can't return to my old ways
D                      F#m
  When the nothingness held up the days
D                 A
  And now come to think of it
       E                 D   A  D  F#m
I only got out of bed for you



[Verse 2]
C#m               D              F#m
  I used to think nothing of the end
C#m              D              A
  Repeating each day was my forte
                  E                    C#m
Spinning out time like a spider with a web
                D             F#m    A   E
Devouring every second, I was fed
                    D                     F#m
But then I went and sailed right out, got lost
                                  D
Found things just got a bit lighter


[Chorus]
            F#m
Haven't you heard, love?
D                 A
  It's a truly absurd love
D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big kiss
        E                       D
And the next day you could be a stone
                   A
Can't return to my old lives
D                    F#m
  Quite oblivious to all of the signs
D                 A
  And now come to think of it
       E                 D    A   D
I only got out of bed for you


[Bridge]
Dm       A
 Invited to the feast
Dm            A
 Only had one grape
Dm               A
 Always arrived ahead of time
   E                 A
But turned out I was late
Dm                 A
 I can see now the world does not care
Dm                 A
 That is okay with me
Dm          A                                 D
 So I never needed a boat to sail out to the sea


[Chorus]
            F#m
Haven't you heard right?
D                A
  It's a truly absurd life
D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big hole
        E                       D
And the next day you could be a king
                   A
Can't return to my old ways
D                      F#m
  When the nothingness held up the days
D                 A
  And now come to think of it
       E                 D
I only got out of bed for you
            F#m
Haven't you heard, love?
D                A
  It's a truly absurd love
D                    F#m
  Tomorrow you could be a big kiss
        E                       D
And the next day you could be a stone
                   A
Can't return to my old lives
D                    F#m
  Quite oblivious to all of the signs
D                 A
  And now come to think of it
       E                 D
I only got out of bed for you
