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


Db6 Db   Bbm Bbm7   Gb Gbmaj7   Ab


Db6 Db   Bbm Bbm7   Gb Gbmaj7   Ab


      Db            Bbm            Gb    Ab
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
        Db             Bbm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
       Gb            Ab
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

        Db
And I've been dying for hours
     Bbm               Gb     Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
       Db             Bbm
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
       Gb                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant


       Fm             Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
       Db          Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks


      Gb             Ebm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
     E            Ab
Now the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks

And everything's blank


      Db
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

If I could only find a voice I would speak
     (Db)    Fm        Gb    Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
      Bbm      Ab      Db
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


 Db6 Db   Bbm Bbm7   Gb Gbmaj7   Ab

 Db6 Db   Bbm Bbm7   Gb Gbmaj7   Ab


      Db            Bbm          Gb   Ab
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
      Db             Bbm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
     Gb            Ab          Ab7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream


        Db
And I've been dying for hours
     Bbm               Gb     Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
       Db             Bbm
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
       Gb                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant


       Fm            Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
       Db          Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
       Gb            Ebm
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
   E             Ab
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks

And everything's blank


      Db
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

If I could only find a voice I would speak
    (Db)     Fm        Gb    Ebm
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
     Bbm       Ab      Db
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


         Gb       Ab       Db
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
         Gb     Ab      Db
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
            Gb              Fm     Bbm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
 Ebm      Ab   Db
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


         Gb     Ab       Db
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
         Gb     Ab     Db
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
            Gb                  Fm     Bbm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
       Bbm       Ab      Db
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
      Bbm      Ab
C'mon and look at me and read 'em


   Db
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart

It's running silent and angry and deep
   (Db)     Fm    Gb    Ebm
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
     Bbm       Ab      Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
