Meat Loaf : Read 'em and weep (Jim Steinman)


Db6Db6 DbDb   BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7   GbGb Gbmaj7Gbmaj7   AbAb


Db6Db6 DbDb   BbmBbm BbM7Bbm7   GbGb Gbmaj7Gbmaj7   AbAb


      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

 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
