[Intro]
Gadd9                 G/B
I know that you're hiding things

         Em     Em/D     C             G/B Am7
Using gentle words to shelter me

        D               B/Eb Em
Your words were like a dream

      Em/D                     C       D
But dreams could never fool me

             Gsus4 G
Not that easily
[Verse]
Gadd9     G/B
I acted so distant then

         Em         Em/D C              G/B Am7
Didn't say goodbye before you left

      D      B/Eb     Em
But I was listening

         Em/D                C              D
You'll fight your battles far from me

           Gsus4 G
Far too easily
[Verse]
 Cmaj7                        Bm7
“Save your tears 'cause I'll come back”

        Am7             D             B/Eb
I can hear that you whispered as

Em                               C
you walked through that door

      Bm7 Em
But still I swore

     Am7       D           B/Eb Em
To hide the pain when I       turn back the pages

Cmaj7                                   Bm7
Shouting might have been the answer

           Am7          D          B/Eb
What if I cried my eyes out and

Em                      C        Bm7 Em
begged you not to depart?

      Am7     G/B C
But now I'm not afraid

     C                       D
To say what's in my heart
[Chorus]
             Em                         Em/D
Cause a thousand words call out through the ages

       Cmaj7            G/B
Will fly to you even though I can't see

                     Cmaj7         D
I know they're reaching you

      B/Eb         Em
Suspended on silver wings
[Chorus]
        Em                         Em/D
Oh a thousand words one thousand embraces

      Cmaj7                   G/B
Will cradle you making all of your

                          Cmaj7   D
weary days seem far away

                       Em
They'll hold you forever
[Chorus]
              Em                           Em/D
Though a thousand words have never been spoken

      Cmaj7               G/B
Will fly to you they'll carry you home

                 Cmaj7       D
And back into my arms

                      Em
Suspended on silver wings, oh

         Em                             Em/D
And a thousand words called out through the ages

       Cmaj7                 G/B
Will cradle you turning all of your

                      Cmaj7    D
lonely years to only days

                       Em
They'll hold you forever
