E5                  C#5   B5
  The last thing I wanna do right now is 

A5                E5
read your stupid poetry

C#5                B5
why can't you just tell me what you 

A5            E5
really wanna say?

C#5                
  You'd clear your conscience with 

A5
words so weak and empty but

Ab5               A5             B5 -
something in your eyes gave you away

    -         -
and I've been lonely like a 

E5     C#5       B5   A5
silhouette or a serenade

  E5       C#5       B5     A5
a heart attack or a man betrayed,

    E5       C#5
the arms of love are 

B5       A5
holding me like a 

E5     C#5       B5   A5
silhouette or a serenade


E5                 C#5     B5               A5                 E5
  Is this all you have to say this broken boy would hang on every word 

    C#5              B5               A5            E5
you tell me that you need me while I slowly fall apart

C#5
  you healed your heartache with 

A5
words so cool and callous but the

Ab5             A5              B5 -
absence of your tears gave you away

    -         -
and I've been lonely like a 

E5     C#5       B5   A5
silhouette or a serenade

  E5       C#5       B5     A5
a heart attack or a man betrayed 

    E5       C#5       
the arms of love are 

B5       A5
holding me like a 

E5     C#5       B5   A5
silhouette or a serenade


Lead:


C#5   A5   C#5   Ab5
                    oh
C#5   A5   C#5   Ab5
oh


C#5              A5
  And all pretty poems have to end

C#5             Ab5
  so I say this before I leave

C#5                 A5
  if words are your weapons my dear I 

    B5
surrender, 

         E5       C#5      B5    A5   
surren - der                   surren-

E5       C#5      B5     A5
der



F#5    Eb5       C#5  B5
silhouette or a serenade

  F#5      Eb5       C#5    B5
a heart attack or a man betrayed 

    F#5      Eb5
the arms of love are 

C#5      B5      
holding me, 

    F#5       Eb5      C#5     B5       F#5
say yeah,             oh     oh      oh ...
