C Am Dm G C

[Verse 1]
C    Am                   Dm
Each time that I hold the dice
    G            C
the numbers fade
C       Am               Dm
and Leavin' marks in my hands
          G                   C
where the chalk and dust remain
C      Am                  Dm
but lies can be read like notes
     G                  C
She said I'd leave for Spain
    Am                  Dm
She could've known that city's life
         G                  C
from the model she gave me

[Chorus]
 Am                Dm
Some would ask for more
 G
fool them with silence
C                 Am
cast the stone down
                 Dm
and at what they saw
         G
just to follow the siren
C            Am
as she moved on
                        Dm
and passed through the crowd
     G                   C
She carried our hearts out
               F               G
it's true that some words are lost
           G
cause you chose not to hear them

[Verse 2]
C    Am                     Dm
The eyes of two years have marked
    G
new lines on her face
C            Am        Dm
they pass me by in the dark
    G
my hands haven't changed
C      Am                   Dm
with a crayon and pen from a can
    G              C
She drew a map of Spain
      F
Still have it now
       G
with a little white
                            C
but the markings are fading

[Chorus]
 Am                Dm
Some would ask for more
 G
fool them with silence
C                 Am
cast the stone down
                 Dm
and at what they saw
         G
just to follow the siren
C            Am
as she moved on
                        Dm
and passed through the crowd
     G                   C
She carried our hearts out
               F               G
it's true that some words are lost
           G
cause you chose not to hear them
F
No ohhh
