[Intro]
G# G# C# D#
G# G# D#~
[Verse]
G# C# D#
The doorway frames you a picture perfect silhouette,
G# D#
Blue sky of regret enough to hang you
G# C# D# G#
Your legs seem to tremble, at least I imagine that they do
D#
Then again, it’s probably easy for you
[Chorus]
C# D#
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
G# D# Fm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
C# D# G# C# G#
There’s no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
[Verse]
G# C# D#
Yellow wallpaper peals makes a strange halo around your head
G# D#
It’s funny how I notice these stupid things instead
G# C# D#
You say something awkward, but I wish that you wouldn’t
G# D#
A whole life of 'You wish you could’s, but just couldn’ts'
[Chorus]
C# D#
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
G# D# Fm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
C# D# Fm
There’s no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
[Bridge]
C# D# Fm
So try not to think too much
C# D# Fm
it only just makes me mad
C#
I spent half my life loving you
G# D#~
Think of all the love that I could have had
[Verse 3]
G# C# D#
Five years worth of kisses are packed in your bags
G# D#
This tiny moment fits all the big things we ever had
G# C# D#
And I can’t quite pinpoint when it left or what for
G# D#
Love always steps lightly away from the door
[Chorus]
C# D#
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
G# D# Fm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
C# D#
There’s no need to explain,
C# D# G# C# G#~
no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
