Meat Loaf : Read 'em and weep (Jim Steinman)


Db6  Db      Bbm Bbm7     Gb  Gbmaj7      Ab 


Db6  Db      Bbm Bbm7     Gb  Gbmaj7      Ab 

 
           Db                       Bbm                       Gb       Ab
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
               Db                         Bbm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
              Gb                        Ab
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play


               Db        
And I've been dying for hours
          Bbm                              Gb         Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
             Db                         Bbm
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away
             Gb                                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant 


              Fm                         Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
             Db                   Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks


            Gb                         Ebm                 
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
         E                       Ab
Now the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks

And everything's blank 


            Db                                              
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

If I could only find a voice I would speak
          (Db)        Fm               Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
           Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 


If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 


 Db6  Db      Bbm Bbm7     Gb  Gbmaj7      Ab 
 
 Db6  Db      Bbm Bbm7     Gb  Gbmaj7      Ab 


            Db                        Bbm                    Gb     Ab
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
            Db                         Bbm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
         Gb                       Ab                   Ab7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream 


               Db        
And I've been dying for hours
          Bbm                              Gb         Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
             Db                         Bbm
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away
             Gb                                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant


              Fm                        Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
             Db                   Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
             Gb                       Ebm
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark     
     E                          Ab                         
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
      
And everything's blank 


            Db
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
           
If I could only find a voice I would speak
        (Db)         Fm               Gb       Ebm
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
          Bbm             Ab           Db              
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 


Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep 
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say 
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 


                  Gb             Ab             Db
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
                  Gb         Ab           Db
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
                        Gb                           Fm         Bbm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
 Ebm           Ab      Db
They won't be kept anymore 


Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made 
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost 
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed 
Ooh, whatever the cost 


                  Gb         Ab              Db
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
                  Gb         Ab         Db
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
                        Gb                                    Fm         Bbm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
              Bbm             Ab           Db 
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep     
           Bbm            Ab
C'mon and look at me and read 'em 


      Db                          
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart     
             
It's running silent and angry and deep
     (Db)         Fm        Gb        Ebm                               
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
          Bbm             Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
