Tom: Am
C
Speak now
F G Em Am
F G Am G
[Verse]
F
So you know?
G Em
Only now, it seems all those things that you said
Am G
Perchance, there’s something more that they meant
F
And you know?
G C
How I tried, my best not to think of them at all
Am
The words were so hard to recall
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Without a thought, I carry on in daydream and in song
G C
I’m brash I know but even so, I walk along in this life with nowhere to go
[Chorus]
And when,
F G E Am
I reach my final day, this life slowly burning away
F G Am Em
Surely I’ll regret all the words I couldn’t say, ah
F G E Am
Even there on my final day, I know I’ll still call your name
Em G Am
Once more, once more, once more
G Em C
More now, no doubt, speak out.
F G Em Am
F G Am D - G D
[Verse]
F
So you know?
G Em
Though I try, I can’t find the words saying why
Am G
That blue hue had filled up the sky
F
Or you know?
G Em
What to say, to place all the small little lights
E Am
That shine through the clouds up in the night
F
Speak now
F G Am G
F G Am
[Verse]
F
So you know…
G G7
I’ll confess, in truth I had known long ago
G A
That you had gone and left me alone
F
But you know
G C
I’m the kind, of fool who would just let it go
Am
And not let the pain ever show
[Bridge]
F
Really clearly I’ll say it
G
Make a note and swear I’ll repay it
Em Am
Let’s arrange, that we’ll meet, in the heat, of the day just take me with you
F
The flowers last after they scatter
G
Every day out in the summer heat had mattered
Am E
Talk your heart out,
G D
give it a voice now,
A
shouting it all loud
[Chorus Outro]
And when
F D E G# A
I reach my final day, just once could you smile once again?
F#
I’m sure
[Chorus]
G# Bb
There on my final day, I’ll sing this song full of love
F# G# Bb
And you’ll smile and tell me that I finally did enough, yeah,
Bb F# G#
Sadly there on my final day, you won’t be the one by my side
Bb F# C#
Long ago you went and left my life
[Outro]
F# G# Fm Bb
Once more, once more, once more, once more
F# G# Bb C#
Once more, once more, once more, if you could
C# G# Bb C#
Once more, once more, once more, once more
F# G# C#
More now, no doubt, speak out.
