Tom: A
Intro: F#m7 A
F#m7
Oh the world is still
A
It's quiet as a mouse, it's 3 am
F#m7
Wide awake, I'm trying to get the words out of my mouth
A
But I can't make a sound since you left me lying here in my bed
While you're running off with him
F#m7 A
Everything in my world was yours, when I held you tenderly
Bm7 F#m7 E
I was once in his shoes, I had everything to lose and so I did
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
It wasn't long ago when I could feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I could feel your touch as your arms were closing in
D7+ Bm7 F#m7 Em
If I could muster a sound I'd sing this song out loud just like a Nightingale
( F#m7 A )
F#m7 A
I was driving fast with roses on my seat and headed home
I was late with dinner getting cold
F#m7
When I was struck in the side of the car
A
And then I saw your face
I couldn't move, I couldn't say a word to you
F#m7 A
Everything in my world was yours, when I held you tenderly
Bm7 F#m7
Oh now my world is caving in because you're sleeping next to him
E
If I could die
E
You bet your life I would
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
Because I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in
D7+ Bm7 F#m7 Em
If I could muster a sound I'd sing this song out loud just like the Nightingale
Am
The Nightingale
( F#m7 A F#m7 A )
Bm7 F#m7 E
If the tables had been turned I could never go without you by my side
E
But I'm reminded everyday how
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in
D7+ Bm7 F#m7 Em
If I could muster a song I'd sing this song out loud just like the Nightingale
Em
The Nightingale
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin
D7+ Bm7 F#m7
I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in
D7+ Bm7 F#m7 Em
If I could muster a sound I'd sing this song out loud just like a Nightingale
Am
The Nightingale
