Capo 2
Intro: F Dm Am x3
F Dm Am
I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
F Dm Am
I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping.
F Dm Am
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me.
F Dm Am x2
F Dm Am
You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother,
F Dm Am
I feel myself turn into my father.
F Dm Am
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy
F Dm Am
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly.
Dm C Bb
And I feel my heart pounding
Dm C Bb
And I think I might scream
F C
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Dm Bb
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
F C Dm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
F Dm Am x2
F Dm Am
At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
F Dm Am
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken.
F Dm Am
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that.

F Dm Am
You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp.
Dm C Bb
With your eyes so wide, your face aglow
Dm C Bb
It's the face of someone I don't know.
F C
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Dm Bb
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
F C Dm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
F Dm Am x7
Dm C Bb
And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion.
Dm C Bb
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them.
F C
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Dm Bb
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here.
F C Dm
You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever.
F C
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
Dm Bb
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night
F C Dm
But I'd be lying.
F C Dm
Love is defying.
End on F
