Song: Concentric
Band: The Swell Season

Hello there fans of Glen Hansard / The Frames / The Swell Season (whatever name they go by they're
always amazing). This is a fantastic non-album song which I first heard from watching The Swell
Season: Live from the Artist's Den DVD and it completely slayed me. It's got all the staples: it's
simple, it's hauntingly beautiful, and anyone with a true soul can sing it. And
that's why I put this
together, so that someone can play it for themselves to hear its beauty. More clever people than
me have figured out the proper chords but here I am putting chords and words together. I hope
you enjoy learning this gem as much as I did. As usual, sing with conviction and there are no
wrong notes! Cheers & Gra Mor!

Lost and gone and concentric
and the hours grow long
is there something I can help you with?
or is it easier alone?

it's always easier to bury it, to cover it in snow
it's always easier to measure it, to cover it and go

and the work is gonna pay for it
and the heart will grow
it isn't always gonna end up like this
I just hope that you will know

it's always easier to bury it, to cover it in snow
it's always easier to measure it, to cover it and go

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah... (repeat as many times as you wish)

bone inside of me..."
