This song will likely sound better on guitar in drop D tuning.


D5 A5 D5  B5 Bb5 A5

G5  F#5 E5   G5  F#5 E5

         D5               A5     D5
All the words you say to me have music in them
         B5              Bb5         A5
All the sorrows and the joys, like magnetism
       G5            F#5    E5          
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
     C5        B5      Bb5   A5         D5
And says what is but never asks what isn't

                B5                   G5
But a voice contains many precious things
    C#5                F#5
It laughs and then it sings
             F5 ) F5             G5 )
And all the lies     that we can tell
    Bb5 Bb5 A+ A5   A5

        D5          A5          D5 
Maybe this is the love song that I refused to
  B5              Bb5        A5
Write her when I loved her like I used to
       G5              F#5 E5    
And I fear my heart may spin and fracture
      C5        B5    Bb5       A5      D5
Like tears of stone falling from a statue

                B5                        G5
But a voice contains all that's true and false
       C#5             F#5
Then cries for someone else
              F5 ) F5       G5 )
And for some honest   tenderness
Bb5 B5 A+   A5 A5
So I    must confess

          D5               A5     D5
All the words you say to me have music in them
         B5              Bb5         A5
All the sorrows and the joys, like magnetism
       G5            F#5    E5          
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
     C5        B5      Bb5   A5         D5
And says what is but never asks what isn't
