Key: C
Introduction: Am Dm
Am G
The flowers have
Dm C G
wilted on the sill
F
And words have been
C G/B Am
kept so small and still
G Dm
And yet if the great
C G
opinion speaks
F C
Then sadly we nod
G/B F
our heads and agree
G
Barely a mention
E/G#
of your name
On deaf ears a
Am G
distant whisper
F
Whatever no
one gets it
C
It's already overdue you
C/E Em
will not be heard by many now
Am
But I'll always be amazed
F G E/G#
be every sound your ever made
Am G
While building a
Dm C G
tolerance to them
F C
You made sorrow sound
G/B Am
like a good friend
G
The well where the
Dm C G
poison pen was drawn
F
The same place you
C G/B
trusted then but
F
was gone Enemies
G E/G#
battled in your mind
Am
Until all the blood
G
shed leaked down
F
Dried up and
Fm(hold)
C
It's already overdue you
C/E Em
will not be heard by many now
Am
But I'll always be amazed
F G
be every sound your ever made
C
And since I did not know you
C/E Em
I can only say but a few words
Am
Too bad they won't hear your song
F G
that I've been singing all alone
