♫ Intro:

| G+G   | A augmentedA   | C majorC   | G+G   |


♫ Verse 1:
G+G                 A augmentedA
 It’s something cold like what I stuck around to fight through
  C majorC               G+G
And it gets feeling tougher every day
G+G           A augmentedA
 I feel like everybody likes to run their mouth but
    C majorC                  D MajorD
Can’t decide on what it is they’re tryin’ to say
D MajorD                  G+G
 There’s nothing wrong with hearing voices
E minorEm  D MajorD          C majorC   C#dimC#dim
 Even when they’re in your dreams
G+G             FF        C majorC       G+G
 And if you’d listen in tomorrow could be better than it seems

♫ Verse 2:
G+G              A augmentedA
 I used to think I couldn’t even count my blessings
  C majorC                G+G
But now I know they’re few and far between
G+G            A augmentedA
 And when I look at my reflection in the mirror
   C majorC              D MajorD
I can see some man I’ve never even seen
D MajorD             G+G
 The wasted life I left behind me
E minorEm     D MajorD       C majorC C#dimC#dim
 Was just a war I couldn’t win
G+G             FF        C majorC       G+G
 I’m the devil’s guest of honor that’s the best it’s ever been


♫ Chorus:
    C majorC        G+G
Little said is soonest mended
     E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
Without a wing a word could fly a 1.000 miles
  A minorAm           E minorEm
I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    FF        D MajorD       G+G
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind

♫ Instrumental:
| G+G   | A augmentedA   | C majorC   | G+G   |
| G+G   | A augmentedA   | C majorC   | D MajorD   |
| D MajorD   | G+G   | E minorEm D MajorD | C majorC C#dimC#dim |
| G+G   | FF   | C majorC   | G+G   |


♫ Verse 3:
G+G              A augmentedA
 I know a man whose pain is heavy like an anchor
    C majorC               G+G
And it drags him to the bottom of the sea
G+G             A augmentedA
 His cloudy eyes are often lost behind a daydream
  C majorC             D MajorD
Or frozen in some broken memory
     D MajorD                G+G
But I’ve never heard him speak about what happened
E minorEm      D MajorD       C majorC   C#dimC#dim
 He’ll never say what laid him low
G+G             FF       C majorC       G+G
 There are secrets that we carry that are ours to bare alone


♫ Verse 4:
G+G                A augmentedA
 You said a love that’s kept in secret dies in darkness
   C majorC                G+G
And a soul needs to confess to be set free
G+G            A augmentedA
 So I’m lifting back the cover of my heart, dear
  C majorC                 D MajorD
And hoping that you’ll do the same for me
D MajorD               G+G
 It’s not too pretty, but it’s open
     E minorEm     D MajorD        C majorC  C#dimC#dim
It’s the only way I know to tell you true
G+G              FF       C majorC       G+G
 I’d walk the world alone before I’d ever walk away from you


♫ Chorus:
    C majorC        G+G
Little said is soonest mended
     E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
Without a wing a word could fly a 1.000 miles
  A minorAm           E minorEm
I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    FF        D MajorD       G+G
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind


♫ Instrumental:
| G+G   | A augmentedA   | C majorC   | G+G   |
| G+G   | A augmentedA   | C majorC   | D MajorD   |
| D MajorD   | G+G   | E minorEm D MajorD | C majorC C#dimC#dim |
| G+G   | FF   | C majorC   | G+G   |


♫ Verse 5:
G+G                 A augmentedA
If you can link your value to your wallet or a key chain
   C majorC                   G+G
Or a locked wrought iron fence around your yard
G+G                A augmentedA
Living check to check, a skinny tie around your neck
     C majorC               D MajorD
On stolen time and borrowed numbers off a card
D MajorD               G+G
 You blink and life is left behind you
E minorEm      D MajorD          C majorC  C#dimC#dim
 There’s no escape, that’s just a fact
   G+G              FF      C majorC       G+G
We’re all a dollar short and every one of us is running out of track


♫ Chorus:
    C majorC        G+G
Little said is soonest mended
     E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
Without a wing a word could fly a 1.000 miles
  A minorAm           E minorEm
I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    FF        D MajorD       G+G  G7G7
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
    C majorC        G+G
Little said is soonest mended
     E minorEm        D MajorD      C majorC
Without a wing a word could fly a 1.000 miles
  A minorAm           E minorEm
I’d rather be abandoned or alone
    FF        D MajorD       G+G
Just so I could lend my secrets to the wind
