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