Capo 2 Intro: F5 D5 A5 x3 F5 D5 A5 I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping. F5 D5 A5 I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping. F5 D5 A5 I lie awake and pretend you can hear me. F5 D5 A5 x2 F5 D5 A5 You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother, F5 D5 A5 I feel myself turn into my father. F5 D5 A5 We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy F5 D5 A5 It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly. D5 C5 Bb5 And I feel my heart pounding D5 C5 Bb5 And I think I might scream F5 C5 I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear D5 Bb5 I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear F5 C5 D5 I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. F5 D5 A5 x2 F5 D5 A5 At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken F5 D5 A5 You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken. F5 D5 A5 I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that. F5 D5 A5 You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp. D5 C5 Bb5 With your eyes so wide, your face aglow D5 C5 Bb5 It?s the face of someone I don't know. F5 C5 I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear D5 Bb5 I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear F5 C5 D5 I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. F5 D5 A5 x7 D5 C5 Bb5 And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion. D5 C5 Bb5 To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them. F5 C5 I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear D5 Bb5 Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here. F5 C5 D5 You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever. F5 C5 Your face so twisted and your eyes alight D5 Bb5 I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night F5 C5 D5 But I'd be lying. F5 C5 D5 Love is defying. End on F
