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
            Db                                              
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
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 
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down If I could only find a voice I would speak Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep Db6 Db Bbm Bbm7 Gb Gbmaj7 Ab Db6 Db Bbm Bbm7 Gb Gbmaj7 Ab
            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
            Db
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
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 
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart It's running silent and angry and deep Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I can say 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 
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed 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                          
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart     
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
