Capo III [Chorus 1]
                     Am
Please don’t name my sadness

E7                     Am
Please don’t give it a face

E7            Am
Don’t free it from its cage

             E7         Am   E7 AM
And bring it over to my place
[Verse 1]
D         G
I’m not unfamiliar

         C        G      D
With the contours of its shape

D                     G
It’s not like I don’t know

      C       G       D
Every inch of the landscape

D           G
Do I need reminding

      C        G     D
In my skin and in my flesh

D                G
Of how this pain feels

        C    G          E
When it runs through me fresh?
[Chorus 2]
   E7                   Am
Oh please don’t name my sadness

      E7               Am
Don’t wake it from its sleep

      E7                  Am
Don’t show off the silver serpent

         E7                  Am  E7 Am
That you brought up from the deep
[Verse 2]
D            G
Sure I smile through it

  C       G        D
I try and laugh it off

D             G
Don’t show me what I lack

      C       G       D
And expect me just to scoff

D              G
You know these kinds of thoughts

     C      G      D
Will eat me from inside

D                G
You know I can’t just cry

    C     G       D
You know about my pride
[Chorus 3]
   E7                   Am
Oh please don’t name my sadness

       E7              Am
That’s sure to make it grow

E7              Am
Hide it in your little jokes

   E7               Am
As if we both don’t know
[Bridge] E7 Am E7 Am Am7 Fmaj7 Am Dm G C C7 Dm G C C7 Dm G E E7 Am E7 Am [Verse 3]
D                      G
You spoke its name out loud

  C       G     D
A time or two before

D                 G
Each time knowing full well

   C          G      D
My heart sunk to the floor

D               G
Oh you’ve got a cruel old way

   C        G        D
To use this for your gain

D                  G
To enjoy this sick pleasure

   C         G        D
To deal with your own pain
[Chorus 4]
   E7                   Am
Oh please don’t name my sadness

      E7             Am
Don’t shove it in my face

E7                  Am
Don’t describe just how my life

       E7        Am
Turned into a disgrace
[Outro] E7 Am E7 Am D G C G D G C G D G C G D G C G E E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am
