The flowers have

Dm C G

wilted on the sill

And words have been

C G/B Am

kept so small and still

G Dm

And yet if the great

Then sadly we nod

G/B F

our heads and agree

Barely a mention

E/G#

of your name

On deaf ears a

Am G

distant whisper

F Fm

(Hold)

Whatever no

one gets it

be every sound your ever made

Post Chorus: Am--Dm-- x4

Verse 2:

Am G

While building a

Dm C G

tolerance to them

F C

You made sorrow sound

G/B Am

like a good friend

The well where the

Dm C G

poison pen was drawn

The same place you

C G/B

trusted then but

was gone Enemies

G E/G#

battled in your mind

Until all the blood

shed leaked down

Dried up and

(hold)

rusted the fight

Chorus 2:

It's already overdue you

C/E Em

will not be heard by many now

But I'll always be amazed

F G

F G

that I've been singing all alone
