Everything Unsaid

Joshua Hyslop


Tom: G

G G Em D C G

[Verse 1]
 Em              D               C                 G
For everything unsaid there is a flourish of my pride 
      C                       G
It is deep and dark and wide 
         C                        D
I can't tell the weeds from vines 
    Em            D                    C                    G
But if I had the strength I'd move the mountains in my mind
         C                  G
But it's taking all my time
        C                 D
Just to start to realize
         C                          G
That I'm not the man I hoped to be
    C
And though I'm not alone
    G                D
I still feel so lone-ly

[Verse 2]
     Em              D                C                G
Come Monday I've for-gotten all those promises you said
         C                 G
All your holy words in red
            C                      D
Wreathed in guilt and golden thread
    Em           D                  C              G
And if I had the strength to be who others say I am
           C                G
I wouldn't look into my eyes
        C              D
See the shadow of a man
         C                           G
Well I'm not who they say I've become
      C
For I know the things I've said
      G                           D
Won't compare with what I've done
C     G  C    G  D          C   D
No, no, oh, no-o,        oo-oh
 
[Instrumental]
Em D C G
C G D           x2   (second time through hold the D chord)

[Verse 3]
    Em               D           C                  G
Now all of these mon-strosities, choices I have made 
C                G
Will not go away
             C                   D
I've made my bed and here I lay
    Em                 D              C                       G
But is there still for-giveness if we know what we have done?
       C                G
Woe to every single one
               C                     D
Who spared the rod and blamed the son
          C                                      G
Well it's not just the day that needs the night
         C                              G                    D
Seems to me it's in the darkness we can finally see the light
C     G  C    G  D          C   D
Oh, oh, oh, oh-o,        oo-oh
