G#m                B
All these words in my head
F#                  E
But nothing is what I said
G#m               B           F#
I just sighed and watched you leave

G#m               B
I didn’t fight or beg you
F#                E
Or simply just react to
G#m             B                  F#
All the chances you’ve been giving me


[Chorus]
             E         B        F#
But when the last word has been spoken
        E         B        F#
And the last tear has been cried
         E                 B
When the shouts all fade away
        F#       C#      E
And the silence comes to stay
       F#    B               E
I must be as strong as I can be
              F#
And fight for you
          E                     F#
And don’t fight you leaving me


[Verse 2]
G#m            B
I light up the letter
F#                   E
That promised I’d be better
G#m                   B                  F#
Cause I’m afraid that you would still believe
G#m               B
I know that I’m a coward
F#                 E
But in these final hours
G#m             B               F#
All I can do is give you some relief


[Chorus]
             E         B        F#
But when the last word has been spoken
        E         B        F#
And the last tear has been cried
         E                 B
When the shouts all fade away
        F#       C#      E
And the silence comes to stay
       F#    B               E
I must be as strong as I can be
              F#
And fight for you
          E
And don’t fight you leaving


[Bridge]
        F#
Now you look at me so desperately
    E            B
And I know you expect
      F#
Me to tell a lie to make things right
    E                B
But I just watch you pack
       F#
You deserve much more so I just hope
     C#m     B             F#
That someday you will understand

    G#m                     B
Why with all these words in my head
F#              E
Nothing is what I said
   C#
Oh yeah


[Chorus]
             E         B        F#
But when the last word has been spoken
        E         B        F#
And the last tear has been cried
         E                 B
When the shouts all fade away
        F#       C#      E
And the silence comes to stay
       F#    B               E
I must be as strong as I can be
              F#
And fight for you
                            G#m
And don’t fight you leaving me
