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