Intro: D   Bm   F#m  (3x) 


D                    Bm                         F#m 
I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping. 
               D                       Bm                    F#m 
I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping. 
  D             Bm              F#m 
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me. 


D   Bm   F#m   (2x) 


    D                                    Bm                F#m 
You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother, 
  D           Bm           F#m 
I feel myself turn into my father. 
         D                      Bm                          F#m 
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy 
     D                          Bm                   F#m 
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly. 


      Bm      A        G 
And I feel my heart pounding 
      Bm    A       G 
And I think I might scream 


      D                               A 
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear 
      Bm                          G 
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear 
  D                           A                 Bm 
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. 


D   Bm   F#m  (2x) 


   D                        Bm                    F#m 
At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken 
          D                       Bm                     F#m 
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken. 
       D                         Bm                     F#m 
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that. 
    D                       Bm                   F#m 
You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp. 


          Bm      A                G 
With your eyes so wide, your face aglow 
        Bm      A               G 
Its the face of someone I don't know. 


      D                               A 
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear 
      Bm                          G 
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear 
  D                           A                 Bm 
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever. 


D   Bm   F#m  (7x) 


    Bm                           A                   G 
And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion. 
   Bm                  A            G 
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them. 


      D                               A 
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear 
            Bm                                 G 
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here. 
    D                      A                Bm 
You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever. 


     D                        A 
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight 
          Bm                                G 
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night 
    D   A  Bm 
But I'd be lying. 
D    A  Bm 
Love is defying. 


End on: D
