Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[G]I wish you had been
at your memori[Am]al
Seeing [C]someone proposing [G]on stage
I couldn't get through
my [Am]song for you
When it [C]came to saying your [G]name
I can still see the room at the [Am]hos pital
[C]Pretty, painted [G]tile
I can still see your skin turning [Am]purple
[C]Milly of [G]the Nile
[D]

[Verse 2]
[G]Can you [Em]hear me?
Did you [D]mean it?
Did you [G]plan [Em]it out?
Or was it [D]an accident?

[Verse 3]
[G]Time, time, up and [Am]down the blue screen
It's [C]dawn and I'm in[G]sane
Love's just a word and not
[Am]what the word means
But I'll [C]say it [Cm]just the [G]same
Talking to an [Am]entity
[C]Made of endless [G]night
I dream in TV [Am]dialogue
A [C]world of shadow and [G]light
[D]

[Verse 4]
I know [G]it don't [Em]work that way
But maybe you'll come
[D]back some day
I know it don't [Em]work like that
But maybe you can [D]take it back

[Interlude 1]
[G][Am][C][G][Am][C][G][D]

[Verse 5]
[G]Now that there's no need to [Am]say a word
[C]Can I still make [G]amends?
But silence, the only [Am]kindness I heard
[C]Forgiveness, the only re[G]venge
Meeting all of [Am]the people
I've [C]heard of from your [G]past
Reading through all of your [Am]letters
[C]Looking for your [G]love
[D]

[Verse 6]
You told [Em]me that love
Is when [D]someone asks you
"Please leave [Em]me alone"
And you [D]really do
You looked in[Em]to my eyes
'Til I was your [D]mother and son
I tried to [Em]look away
But saw you in [D]everyone

[Verse 7]
I [G]wish you had been at your me
[Am]morial
[C]Seeing someone proposing [G]on stage
