Read 'Em and Weep

I've been (Bb6)trying for (Bb)hours ly,

just to (Gm)think of what (Gm7)exactly to (Ebmaj7)say.

(F6)I thought I'd (Bb6)leave you with (Bb)a letter or a (Gm)fiery (Gm7)speech,

like when an (Ebmaj7)actor makes an exit at the (F6)end of a play.

(F)And I've been (Bb6)dying for (Bb)hours er,

tryin' to (Gm)fill up all (Gm7)the holes with some sense.

(F)I'd like to (Bb6)know why (Bb)you gave up and you (Gm)threw it (Gm7)away;

I'd like to (Ebmaj7)give you all the reasons and what (F6)ev'rything meant.

(F)Well, I could (Dm)tell you goodbye or maybe (C6)see you around with just a (Bbmaj7)touch of a sarcastic (Gm7)thanks.

We started (Eb)out with a bang and at the (Cm)top of the world;

now the (Db)guns are exhausted and the (F)bullets are blanks

(F)and ev'rything's blank.

If I could (Bb)only find the (F)words,

then I would (Eb)write it all down;

if I could (Bb)only find a (F)voice,

I would speak.

(Eb)Oh, it's (Bb)there in my eyes;

(Dm7)oh, can't you (Eb)see me (Cm7)tonight?

Come on and (Gm)look at me and (F)read 'em and (Bb)weep.

(F)If I could (Bb)only find the (F)words,

then I would (Eb)write it all down;

if I could (Bb)only find a (F)voice,

I would speak.

(Eb)Oh, it's (Bb)there in my eyes;

(Dm7)oh, can't you (Eb)see me (Cm7)tonight?

Come on and (Gm)look at me and (F)read 'em and (Bb)weep.

(F)If I could

(F6)I've been (Bbmaj7)touch of a sarcastic (Gm7)thanks.

But now the (Eb)rooms are all empty,

the (Cm7)candles are dark,

the (Db)guns are exhausted and the (F)bullets are blanks

(F)and ev'rything's blank.

If I could (Bb)only find the (F)words,

then I would (Eb)write it all down;

if I could (Bb)only find a (F)voice,

I would (Eb)speak.

Oh, it's (Bb)there in my eyes;

(Dm7)oh, can't you (Eb)see me (Cm7)tonight?

Come on and (Gm)look at me and (F)read 'em and (Bb)weep.

(F)Oh, it's (Bb)there in my eyes (F)words,
