Meat Loaf : Read 'em and weep (Jim Steinman) Db6 Db Bbm Bbm7 Gb Gbmaj7 Ab Db6 Db Bbm Bbm7 Gb Gbmaj7 Ab
           Db                       Bbm                       Gb       Ab
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say

               Db                         Bbm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech

              Gb                        Ab
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play

               Db        
And I've been dying for hours

          Bbm                              Gb         Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense

             Db                         Bbm
I'd like to know how you faded and you threw it away

             Gb                                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant 

              Fm                         Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around

             Db                   Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks

            Gb                         Ebm                 
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world

         E                       Ab
Now the guns are exhausted, the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
Db6        Db            Fm                 Gb           Ebm
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

           Db          Fm            Gb    Ebm 
If I could only find a voice I would speak 

         Db          Fm                Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight

          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep  

Db6        Db            Fm                 Gb           Ebm
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

           Db          Fm            Gb    Ebm 
If I could only find a voice I would speak 

         Db          Fm                Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight

          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 

            Db                        Bbm                    Gb     Ab
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream

            Db                         Bbm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold

         Gb                       Ab                   Ab7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream 

               Db        
And I've been dying for hours

          Bbm                              Gb         Ab
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense

             Db                         Bbm
I'd like to know why you faded and you threw it away

             Gb                                Ab
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant

              Fm                        Ebm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around

             Db                   Bbm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks

             Gb                       Ebm
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark     

     E                          Ab                         
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
Db6        Db            Fm                 Gb           Ebm
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down

           Db          Fm            Gb    Ebm 
If I could only find a voice I would speak 

         Db          Fm                Gb        Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight

          Bbm            Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep   

         Db          Fm              Gb               Ebm
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart

             Db         Fm        Gb  Ebm
It's running silent and angry and deep 

         Db          Fm            Gb        Ebm 
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say

          Bbm            Ab           Db 
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep 

                      Gb          Ab             Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For all the hours we'll be spending alone

                      Gb      Ab           Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the dreams we'll ignore

                            Gb                        Fm          Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all those promises we promised to keep

Ebm           Ab      Db
They won't be kept anymore 

                      Gb                     Ab         Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the magic that our bodies had made

                      Gb      Ab            Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the blood that we lost

                            Gb          Fm              Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed

         Ebm      D 
Ooh, whatever the cost 

                      Gb         Ab              Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the memories still alive in the bed

                      Gb         Ab         Db
(Read 'em and weep) - For the lies we believed

                            Gb                                    Fm         Bbm
(Running silent and deep) - And all the things that we'll have never been said

              Bbm             Ab           Db 
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep     

           Bbm            Ab
C'mon and look at me and read 'em 

      Db         Fm              Gb               Ebm                 
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart     

             Db         Fm        Gb  Ebm
It's running silent and angry and deep

     (Db)         Fm        Gb        Ebm                               
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say

          Bbm             Ab           Db
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
