[Bm] [G]
[B]
[D] [Bm]
[G] [A]
I've been [D] trying for hours just [Bm] to think of what exactly to say
[A]
I [D] thought I'd leave you with a little [Bm] horrifying speech
Like when [G] an actor makes an exit at [A] the end of a play
And I've been [D] dying for hours trying to [Bm] fill up all the holes with [G] some sense
[A] I'd like to [D] know how you faded and [Bm] you threw it away
I'd like [G] to give you all the reasons and [A] what everything is
Well I [F#m] could tell you goodbye or [E] maybe see you around
With just [D] a touch of a [Bm] sarcastic face
[C#] [G] He's fired up with the banging at the [Em] top of the world now
The [F] guns are exhausted and the [A] bullets are blazed
[E] Everything's fake
If I [D] could only find the words then [G] I would write it all [A] down
If [D] I could [G] speak
[D] Oh it's there in my [F#m] eyes, oh [G] can't you see me [Em] tonight?
Come [Bm] on and look at me and read [D] on and read
[A] [E] If I [D] could only find the words [G] then I would write it all down
If I [D] could only find the words oh, [G] can't you see [Em] me tonight?
[Bm] Come on and look at [E] me and read [D] on and read
[Bm]
[G] [A]
[Bm]
[G] [B]
[D] I've been whispering softly [Bm] trying to build a graph up to [G] a screen
[A]
We [D] let the past slip away and [Bm] put the future on hold
[G] Now the prison is [D] nothing [A] but a hollowed out dream
[B] And [D] I've been dying for hours [Bm] trying to fill up all the holes [G] with some sense
I'd like to [D] know how you faded and you [Bm] threw it away
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what [A] [A] everything is
Well I [F#m] could tell you goodbye or [E] maybe see you around
[D] With just a touch of a [Bm] sarcastic face
But now the [G] rooms are all empty, the [Em] candles have gone
[F] The guns are exhausted [A] and the bullets are blazed
Everything's fake
If [D] I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could speak
[G]
Oh it's there in my eyes, oh [G] can't you see me [Em] tonight?
Come on and look at [A] me and [D] read on and read
[A]
Oh it's there in my eyes and going [G] straight from my [D] heart
It's running silent and very [G] greedy
[D] Oh, [F#m] I've been, it's all [Em] I can say
So [Bm] come on and look at me and read [D] on and read
[A] Read [G] on and read
[A] [D] [G]
[A] [D] [G]
[Bm] [Em] There won't [A] be death [D] anymore
Read [G] on and read
[A] Oh, I've been, [D] it's all I can say
Read on and [G] read
[A] Oh, [D] [G] [C#] [F#m]
[Bm] [Em] [A] I've been, [D] it's all I can say
Read [G] on and read
Oh, I've been, [D]
it's [G] all I can say
Read on and read
[D]
[G] Why [A] [Bm]
don't you look at me and [D] read on and read
Come [Bm] on and look at me and [A] read on and read
[D] Oh, it's there in my [B] eyes and going [G] straight from my heart
It's [D] running silent and [G] angry and deep
[D] It's there in my eyes, [G] it's all [Em] I can say
Come on [Bm] and look at [A] me and read on [D] and read
[N]
