_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _
_ [Bb] I've been trying for hours just [Gm] to think of what exactly to [Eb] say.
I _ [F] _
_ thought I'd [Bb] lose you _ [Gm] to a fiery speech like when an actor makes an exit at [Dm] the end of a [F] play.
_ _ _ And [Gm] I've been [Bb] dying for hours trying [Gm] to fill up all the holes with some [Eb]
sense.
_ _ [F] _ _ I'd like [Bb] to know why you gave up and [Gm] you threw it away.
I'd like [Eb] to give you all the reasons and put [F] everything in. _ _
_ Well I [Dm] could tell you goodbye or [C] maybe see you around with just [Bb] a touch of a [Gm] sarcastic fang.
_ _ _ _ It started [Eb] out with a bang and at [Cm] the top of the world now [Db] the guns are exhausted and
[F] the bullets are blank. _
_ _ And everything's blank.
If I [Bb] could only find the words then [Eb] I would write it all down.
If [Bb] I could only find a voice [Eb] I would speak.
_ [Bb] Oh is there in my eyes [Eb] or can't you see [Cm] me tonight?
[Gm] Come on and look at me and read all these [F] leaves.
If [Bb] I could only find the _ _ [Eb] _ words.
If [Bb] I could only find a voice [Eb] I would speak.
[Bb] Oh is there in my eyes or [Eb] can't you see me [Cm] tonight?
Come [Gm] on and look at me and read all [Bb] these leaves.
_ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ I've been whispering softly [Gm] trying to fill the cry up into [Eb] a scream.
_ _ [F] _
_ We [Bb] let the past slip away and [Gm] put the future on hold.
[Eb] Now the present is nothing [F] but a hollowed out dream.
_ [Cm] And [Bb] I've been dreaming forever [Gm] hoping something would eventually [Eb] come.
_ _ _ [F] _ _ I saw [Bb] your eyes in the dark.
[Gm] I felt your kiss on my lips.
I [Eb] traced your body in the air [F] until the bodies were numb. _ _
Now [Dm] I could tell you goodbye or [F] maybe see you around
with [Bb] just a touch of a sarcastic [Gm] bang.
But now [Eb] the wounds are all empty, the [Cm] candles are dark,
the [Db] guns are exhausted and the [F] bullets are blank.
_ _ _ _ _ And everything's blank.
If [Bb] I could only find the words then I [Eb] would write it all down.
If I [Bb] could only find a voice I [Eb] would speak.
Oh [Bb] is there in [Dm] my eyes or [Cm] can't you see me tonight?
Come [Gm] on and look at [F] me and read all these leaves.
[G] Oh [Bb] is there in my eyes and it's [Eb] coming straight from my heart.
It's [Bb] running silent and angry [Eb] indeed.
_ Oh [Bb] is there in my [Dm] eyes and it's [Cm] all I've been straight.
Come on [G] and look at me and read [Bb] all these leaves.
_ [Eb] All [F] the hours we'll be [Bb] fed, _ _ _ [Eb] all the trees [Bb] we'll ignore.
_ _ [Eb] And all the [F] promises we [Dm] promised [Gm] to _ [C] keep.
They won't be kept [Bb] anymore.
_ _ [Eb] _ All the [F] lies _ [Bb]
we've made.
_ [Eb] All the slugs that [Bb] we've loved.
_ _ [Eb] And all the [F] sacks [Dm] somehow [Gm] betrayed.
_ _ [Cm] All the hell that [Bb] I've gone.
_ [Eb] _ [F] All the slags we've [Bb] still played.
_ [Eb] All [F] the lies we've [Bb] believed.
_ _ [Eb] And all the things that will have [Gm] never been said.
Why don't you look at me [F] and read all these [Bb] leaves.
Come [Gm] on and look at me.
_ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] Oh is there in my [F] _ _ [Eb] eyes and it's coming straight from my heart.
[Bb] It's running silent and [F] angry [Eb] indeed.
_ _ _ [Bb] Oh is there in [Dm] my eyes [Eb] and it's all I [Cm] can say.
Come on [Gm] and look at me [F] and read all these [Bb] _
_ _ _ leaves. _ _ _
