DbDb BbmBbm GbGb AbAb
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
DbDb BbmBbm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
GbGb AbAb
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
DbDb
And I've been dying for hours
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
DbDb BbmBbm
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
GbGb AbAb
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
F minorFm 
EbmEbm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
DbDb BbmBbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
GbGb EbmEbm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
E MajorE AbAb
Now the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
DbDb
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
(DbDb) F minorFm GbGb EbmEbm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
BbmBbm AbAb DbDb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep

Db6Db6 DbDb BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7 GbGb Gbmaj7Gbmaj7 AbAb
DbDb BbmBbm GbGb AbAb
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
DbDb BbmBbm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
GbGb AbAb 
Ab7Ab7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
DbDb
And I've been dying for hours
BbmBbm GbGb AbAb
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
DbDb BbmBbm
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
GbGb AbAb
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
F minorFm EbmEbm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
DbDb BbmBbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
GbGb EbmEbm
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
E MajorE AbAb
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
DbDb
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
(DbDb) F minorFm GbGb EbmEbm
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
BbmBbm AbAb DbDb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
GbGb AbAb DbDb
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
GbGb AbAb DbDb
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
GbGb F minorFm BbmBbm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
EbmEbm AbAb DbDb
They won't be kept anymore
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
Ooh, whatever the cost
GbGb AbAb DbDb
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
GbGb AbAb DbDb
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
GbGb F minorFm BbmBbm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
BbmBbm AbAb DbDb
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
BbmBbm AbAb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em
DbDb
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
(DbDb) F minorFm GbGb EbmEbm
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
BbmBbm AbAb DbDb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
