[Intro] 
Bb6-Bb-Gm-Gm7-EbM7-Bb/Eb-F6 (2X)
 
          Bb6        Bb            Gm             Gm7           EbM7-F
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
              Bb6            Bb          Gm     Gm7
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or fiery speech
             EbM7                       F6       F
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
 
              Bb6       Bb
And I've been dying for hours
          Gm          Gm7                      EbM7-F
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
            Bb6          Bb              Gm        Gm7
I'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it away
            EbM7                              F6              F
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant 
 
             Dm                         C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
            BbM7                 Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
           Eb                         Cm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
        C#                         F                 Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
    F
And everything's blank 
 
Refrain:
           Bb            F/Bb               Eb/Bb             Eb/F
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
           Bb          F/Bb             Eb/Bb
If I could only find a voice I would speak
         Bb            Dm7             Eb       Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
          Gm             F            Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 
 
(Repeat)
 
(Repeat Intro)
          Bb6        Bb               Gm          Gm7           EbM7- F
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
           Bb6        Bb              Gm        Gm7
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
        EbM7                     F6              F
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream 
              Bb6         Bb
And I've been dreaming forever
       Gm              Gm7          EbM7-F6-F
Hoping something would eventually come
           Bb6     Bb                    Gm         Gm7
I saw your eyes in the dark, I felt your kiss on my lips 
              EbM7                      F6          F
I traced your body in the air until the bodies were numb
             Dm                         C6
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
            BbM7                 Gm7
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
            Eb                       Cm7
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
    C#                         F                 Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
    F
And everything's blank 
 
(Repeat Refrain)
 
         Bb           F/Bb            Eb/Bb                 Eb/F
Oh, it's there in my eyes  and coming straight from my heart
             Bb            F/Bb   Eb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep 
         Bb          Dm7            Eb           Cm7
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all__ I could say 
          Gm             F            Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 
 
             Eb                 F               Bb
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
             Eb             F                   Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
                   Eb                   F/Eb        Dm7         Gm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
Cm7           Cm/F    Bb
They won't be kept anymore 
 
             Eb             F              Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made 
             Eb             F             Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost 
                    Eb                F               Dm         Gm
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed 
Cm7      Cm/F     Bb
For whatever the cost 
 
             Eb             F               Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
             Eb             F                Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
                   Eb                 F/Eb                   Dm7        Gm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
              Gm             F            Bb
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep     
 
          Gm             F/A
C'mon and look at me and read 'em 
     Bb          F/Bb              Eb/Bb
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart     
             Bb         F/Bb          Eb/Bb
It's running silent and angry and deep
     Bb          Dm7        Eb        Cm7
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
          Gm             F            Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
