i play it on capo 1 but it's pretty much whatever suits you. thanks! [Verse]
Em
All the stories my father told

C
They spoke of your golden heart

Em
Now the air in the room is cold

C
As your memories fall apart
[Pre-chorus]
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C
(You only remember that)

D
Once all the clocks stop running

Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said

D
(Words I never said)
[Chorus]
       Em          D       C
Give me strength to see you weak

              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave

             Em          D          C
I know you're tired, but please don't sleep

              G               D
'Cause I can't bear to let you leave
[Verse]
Em
You've been claimed by your suffering

C
Sinking deeper in your pain

Em
If you made a recovery

C
Could you ever be the same?
[Pre-Chorus]
Em
(You fear the silence)
So I keep the words coming
C
(You only remember that)

D
Once all the clocks stop running

Em
(We might expect it)
But my heart's still filled with dread
C
And words I never said

D
(Words I never said)
[Chorus]

Give me strength to see you weak
