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