[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 Am
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 Am
I can read all the signs, I can take it from here
F G Am
There’s no need to explain, it’s perfectly clear
[Bridge]
F G Am
So try not to think too much
F G Am
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 Am
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
