[Intro]
F F A# C
F F C~
[Verse]
F A# C
The doorway frames you a picture perfect silhouette,
F C
Blue sky of regret enough to hang you
F A# C F
Your legs seem to tremble, at least I imagine that they do
C
Then again, it’s probably easy for you
[Chorus]
A# C
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
F C Dm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
A# C F A# F
There’s no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
[Verse]
F A# C
Yellow wallpaper peals makes a strange halo around your head
F C
It’s funny how I notice these stupid things instead
F A# 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]
A# C
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
F C Dm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
A# C Dm
There’s no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
[Bridge]
A# C Dm
So try not to think too much
A# C Dm
it only just makes me mad
A#
I spent half my life loving you
F C~
Think of all the love that I could have had
[Verse 3]
F A# 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 A# C
And I can’t quite pinpoint when it left or what for
F C
Love always steps lightly away from the door
[Chorus]
A# C
Please, don’t open your mouth, my dear
F C Dm
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
A# C
There’s no need to explain,
A# C F A# F~
no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
