Tom: G#m
G#m B
All these words in my head
F# E
But nothing is what I said
G#m B F#
I just sighed and watched you leave
G#m B
I didn’t fight or beg you
F# E
Or simply just react to
G#m B F#
All the chances you’ve been giving me
[Chorus]
E B F#
But when the last word has been spoken
E B F#
And the last tear has been cried
E B
When the shouts all fade away
F# C# E
And the silence comes to stay
F# B E
I must be as strong as I can be
F#
And fight for you
E F#
And don’t fight you leaving me
[Verse 2]
G#m B
I light up the letter
F# E
That promised I’d be better
G#m B F#
Cause I’m afraid that you would still believe
G#m B
I know that I’m a coward
F# E
But in these final hours
G#m B F#
All I can do is give you some relief
[Chorus]
E B F#
But when the last word has been spoken
E B F#
And the last tear has been cried
E B
When the shouts all fade away
F# C# E
And the silence comes to stay
F# B E
I must be as strong as I can be
F#
And fight for you
E
And don’t fight you leaving
[Bridge]
F#
Now you look at me so desperately
E B
And I know you expect
F#
Me to tell a lie to make things right
E B
But I just watch you pack
F#
You deserve much more so I just hope
C#m B F#
That someday you will understand
G#m B
Why with all these words in my head
F# E
Nothing is what I said
C#
Oh yeah
[Chorus]
E B F#
But when the last word has been spoken
E B F#
And the last tear has been cried
E B
When the shouts all fade away
F# C# E
And the silence comes to stay
F# B E
I must be as strong as I can be
F#
And fight for you
G#m
And don’t fight you leaving me
