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