E   C#m    B    A  (2 times)



E                  C#m   B
  The last thing I wanna do right now is 

A                E
read your stupid poetry

C#m                B
why can't you just tell me what you 

A            E
really wanna say?

C#m                
  You'd clear your conscience with 

A
words so weak and empty but

Abm               A             B -
something in your eyes gave you away

    -         -
and I've been lonely like a 

E     C#m       B   A
silhouette or a serenade

  E       C#m       B     A
a heart attack or a man betrayed,

    E       C#m
the arms of love are 

B       A
holding me like a 

E     C#m       B   A
silhouette or a serenade


E                 C#m     B               A                 E
  Is this all you have to say this broken boy would hang on every word 

    C#m              B               A            E
you tell me that you need me while I slowly fall apart

C#m
  you healed your heartache with 

A
words so cool and callous but the

Abm             A              B -
absence of your tears gave you away

    -         -
and I've been lonely like a 

E     C#m       B   A
silhouette or a serenade

  E       C#m       B     A
a heart attack or a man betrayed 

    E       C#m       
the arms of love are 

B       A
holding me like a 

E     C#m       B   A
silhouette or a serenade

C#m              A
  And all pretty poems have to end

C#m             Ab

C#m                 A
  if words are your weapons my dear I
