    C5                                    C/E
The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace

His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesitate

   Ebm          F#m6/A  Fm7-5    Ddim  Bbm7-5  E6      Bb7/Ab
He played, they saw, he conquered as   the     master  of,

       Ebm     Ebsus2/F   Ebm/F#  Eb7/G
as the master  of  his    fa...   te………


    Abm              Abm/Gb  Emaj7            F#/E
The girl had an iron soul    no-one could recognize

   B/Eb    E                F#        Eb7/G
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised

    Abm             Abm/Gb  Emaj7         F#/E
She gave herself to him    certain of his fame

F#m/A           F#sus2/Ab     Ab
Wanted him for luxury for limelight and his name

           Bbm7/Ab   Ab7
And then he sang  to her...


[Verse 2]

  C#       A        C#         A#m      D#m Ab7  C#
I love you for your silence, I love you for your peace

C#            C#maj7  C#7   F#           F#m
The still and calm        releases, that sweep into my soul

C#           C Ab7 C#
That slowly take   control.

  C#        A       C#          A#m     D#m  Ab7  C#
I love you for your passion, I love you for your fire

C#          C#maj7  C#7   F#              F#m
The violent desire, that burns me in it's flame
C#       C    Ab7 C#
A love I dare not name.


[Chorus]

             C#       A              C#
His rise was irresistible - yeah, he grew into the part
    D#m         Ab7            C#
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
   C#          C#maj7  C#7      F#        F#m
No base considerations of some glittering reward
    F#                                F#m          C#      C     Ab7 C#
The prize was knowing that (his work) his work was noticed and adored.
  C#                        A        C#
I love you (yes I love you) for your silence (for your silence)

I love you for   your peace
C#            C#maj7  C#7         F#            F#m
The still and calm releases, that sweep into my soul
C#          C     Ab7   C#
And slowly slowly takes control.

C#                  Bbm7     Ab7/Eb     C#
He told the truth,  yes,  he  told  the truth (and he told the truth)


          C#    A      C#
Accepting every honour with (with) a masterly display (display)
   C#             Bbm7             Ab7/Eb           C#
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
   C#         C#maj7  C#7             F#            F#m
He started to believe that he was all they said and more(and more)
    F#           F#m                                  C#     C   Ab7     C#
She forgot - she forgot the reasons (reasons) she had wanted him before - yeah.

  C#       A        C#
I love you for your passion (for your passion)
  A#m      D#m  Ab7  C#
I love you for  your fire
    C#      C#maj7  C#7              F#     F#m
The violent desire, burns me in it's flame (burns me)
C#       C           Ab7  C#
A love I dare I dare not name.


C#           C#maj7 C#7 F#
The still and calm      releases (releases)

     F#m
That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)

     C#/G#
That slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)

                                                G#7    F#   F#7 C#
slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly take control.


[Verse 3]

C5                                   C/E
And when at last they fell apart she wished that she could be

                      Fm            C7/G
The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he

   Fm/Ab            Bbm     Bbm7/Ab                F#maj7
By changing for the better  she had changed things for the worse

    Ebm       F#m6/A       Fm7-5  Ddim     Bbm7   Bb Bb7/Ab
The words that made   them happy  once now e...........choed ...

Ebm    Ebsus2/F  Ebm/F#  Eb7/G
echoed  as a     curse........


[Outro]
