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