Guitar chords with lyrics
Read Them and Weep
(Barry Manilow)
Intro: Bb6-Bb-Gm-Gm7-EbM7-Bb/Eb-F6 (2X)
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 EbM7-F
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech
EbM7 F6 F
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
Bb6 Bb
And I've been dying for hours
Gm Gm7 EbM7-F
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7
I'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it away
EbM7 F6 F
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
🎸

Dm C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
BbM7 Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
Eb Cm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
C# F Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
F
And everything's blank
Refrain:
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb Eb/F
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Bb Dm7 Eb Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
(Repeat)
(Repeat Intro)
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 EbM7- F
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
EbM7 F6 F
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
Bb6 Bb
And I've been dreaming forever
Gm Gm7 EbM7-F6-F
Hoping something would eventually come
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7
I saw your eyes in the dark, I felt your kiss on my lips
EbM7 F6 F
I traced your body in the air until the bodies were numb
Dm C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
BbM7 Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
Eb Cm7
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
C# F Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
F
And everything's blank
(Repeat Refrain)
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb Eb/F
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep
Bb Dm7 Eb Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all__ I could say
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
Eb F/Eb Dm7 Gm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
Cm7 Cm/F Bb
They won't be kept anymore
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost
Eb F Dm Gm
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
Cm7 Cm/F Bb
For whatever the cost
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
Eb F/Eb Dm7 Gm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
Gm F Bb
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
Gm F/A
C'mon and look at me and read 'em
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
Bb F/Bb Eb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep
Bb Dm7 Eb Cm7
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
