this song will likely sound better on guitar in drop D tuning .

D A/C# D/C Bm A# A

G F#m Em G F#m Em

D A/C# D/C
all the words you say to me have music in them
Bm A# A
all the sorrows and the joys , like magnetism
G F#m Em
and a selfish boy looks through a prism
C Bm A# A D
and says what is but never asks what isn’t

Bm G
but a voice contains many precious things
C#m F#m
it laughs and then it sings
F ( /D ) F7 Gm ( /D )
and all the lies that we can tell
A# A#sus4 A+ A6 A – 5

to our foolish selves

D A/C# D/C
maybe this is the love song that i refused to
Bm A# A
write her when i loved her like i used to
G F#m Em
and i fear my heart may spin and fracture
C Bm A# A D
like tears of stone falling from a statue

Bm G
but a voice contains all that’s true and false
C#m F#m
then cries for someone else
F ( /D ) F7 Gm ( /D )
and for some honest tenderness
A# Bsus4 A+ A6 A – 5
so i must confess

D A/C# D/C
all the words you say to me have music in them
Bm A# A
all the sorrows and the joys , like magnetism
G F#m Em
and a selfish boy looks through a prism
C Bm A# A D
and says what is but never asks what isn’t
