G9 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
G4 G
Far too easily
C7M Bm7
&ldquo Save your tears 'cause I'll come back&rdquo
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
C7M 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
Em Em/D
Cause a thousand words call out through the ages
C7M G/B
Will fly to you even though I can't see
C7M D
I know they're reaching you
B/Eb Em
Suspended on silver wings
Em Em/D
Oh a thousand words one thousand embraces
C7M G/B
Will cradle you making all of your
C7M D
weary days seem far away
Em
They'll hold you forever
Em Em/D
Though a thousand words have never been spoken
C7M G/B
Will fly to you they'll carry you home
C7M D
And back into my arms
Em
Suspended on silver wings, oh
Em Em/D
And a thousand words called out through the ages
C7M G/B
Will cradle you turning all of your
C7M D
lonely years to only days
Em
They'll hold you forever
