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