Read Them and Weep
 (Barry Manilow)
Intro: Bb6-Bb-Gm-Gm7-EbM7-Bb/Eb-F6 (2X)

     Bb6Bb6    Bb majorBb      G minorGm       Gm7Gm7      EbM7-F
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
       Bb6Bb6      Bb majorBb     G minorGm   Gm7Gm7
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech
       EbM7            F6F6    FF
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

       Bb6Bb6    Bb majorBb
And I've been dying for hours
     G minorGm     Gm7Gm7           EbM7-F
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
      Bb6Bb6     Bb majorBb       G minorGm    Gm7Gm7
I'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it away
      EbM7               F6F6       FF
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

       DmDm             C6C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
      BbM7         Gm7Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
      Eb MajorEb             C minorCm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
    C#C#             FF         Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
  FF
And everything's blank

Refrain:
      Bb majorBb      F/Bb        Eb/BbEb/Bb       Eb/FEb/F
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
      Bb majorBb     F/Bb       Eb/BbEb/Bb
If I could only find a voice I would speak
     Bb majorBb      Dm7Dm7       Eb MajorEb    Cm7Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
     G minorGm       FF      Bb majorBb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

(Repeat)

(Repeat Intro)
     Bb6Bb6    Bb majorBb        G minorGm     Gm7Gm7      EbM7- FF
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
      Bb6Bb6    Bb majorBb       G minorGm    Gm7Gm7
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
    EbM7           F6F6       FF
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
       Bb6Bb6     Bb majorBb
And I've been dreaming forever
    G minorGm       Gm7Gm7     EbM7-F6-F
Hoping something would eventually come
      Bb6Bb6   Bb majorBb          G minorGm     Gm7Gm7
I saw your eyes in the dark, I felt your kiss on my lips
       EbM7           F6F6     FF
I traced your body in the air until the bodies were numb
       DmDm             C6C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
      BbM7         Gm7Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
      Eb MajorEb            Cm7Cm7
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
  C#C#             FF         Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
  FF
And everything's blank

(Repeat Refrain)

     Bb majorBb      F/Bb      Eb/BbEb/Bb         Eb/FEb/F
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
       Bb majorBb      F/Bb  Eb/BbEb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep
     Bb majorBb     Dm7Dm7      Eb MajorEb      Cm7Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all__ I could say
     G minorGm       FF      Bb majorBb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

       Eb MajorEb         FF        Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
       Eb MajorEb       FF          Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
          Eb MajorEb          F/Eb    Dm7Dm7     G minorGm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
Cm7Cm7      Cm/F  Bb majorBb
They won't be kept anymore

       Eb MajorEb       FF       Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made
       Eb MajorEb       FF       Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost
          Eb MajorEb        FF        DmDm     G minorGm
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
Cm7Cm7   Cm/F   Bb majorBb
For whatever the cost

       Eb MajorEb       FF        Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
       Eb MajorEb       FF        Bb majorBb
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
          Eb MajorEb         F/Eb          Dm7Dm7    G minorGm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
       G minorGm       FF      Bb majorBb
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep

     G minorGm       F/AF/A
C'mon and look at me and read 'em
   Bb majorBb     F/Bb       Eb/BbEb/Bb
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
       Bb majorBb     F/Bb     Eb/BbEb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep
   Bb majorBb     Dm7Dm7    Eb MajorEb    Cm7Cm7
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
     G minorGm       FF      Bb majorBb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
