F  C  Dm  F
I just Fwanted to be so much Cbetter than me
But I Dmlost the talisman, so I Fcould not be free
And the Fladies they watch as I Csneer through my scarves 
And I Dmsmirk mischievously and iFmagine they had the hearts
Then I Fgot up and left and I Cturned a corner right
Though I Dmcould not keep my rent, there were Fshadows in my sights 
As I Fshuffle through the dark I was a Cheading to the park
But I Dmdid not become afraid when I Fheard he dogs starts to bark
It Fmight have been cold or warm, but I Cdid not seem to care 
I was Dmwaving my arms in the Faeromatic air
Then I Ffell to the ground, but I Cheard a million sounds 
There were Dmwhistles there were bells. There were Fscreams and exploding shells 
I found Fteeth marks in my thigh and I Cstarted to cry
No longer Dmwanted to try, but I Fdid not ask why 
Then your Fhollow, hollow face was emCerging from the willow trees
Though I Dmcould not see your eyes I contFinued to gaze with ease
And aFway my silent lover, you're just Cchanging with the grass
Oh so Dmslowly you float, oh so so gFracefully you pass
And I Fdo not see you smile. You don't Ctalk, you don't laugh
You're the DmShepard of my sheep, the keeper Fof my golden calf
And your Flove is truly true, mysterCious, handsome too 
In the Dmwind and in the rain, never Fhad to be pursued 
When I'm Fcold and in the gutter, I simply Cshut my eyes so tight 
Sitting Dmwarm it makes me shudder and I Fsoon feel alright 
And Faway my silent lover, one day Cwe'll shall be together 
There will Dmremain no contemplation, no more Fschemes or endeavors 
When my Fheart disintegrates and my Cvoice is no more
We'll Dmeternally be mates from the Fhorizon to the shore
But for Fnow it's all nostalgia, you're a Ccinematic spector 
Cast your Dmimage from the blinds by the Fglow of the old projector 
And Faway my silent lover 
CAnd away my silent loverDm

F C Dm F

F C

I just wanted to be so much better than me

Dm F

But I lost the talisman, so I could not be free

F C

And the ladies they watch as I sneer through my scarves

Dm F

And I smirk mischievously and imagine they had the hearts

F C

Then I got up and left and I turned a corner right

Dm F

Though I could not keep my rent, there were shadows in my sights

F C

As I shuffle through the dark I was a heading to the park

Dm F

But I did not become afraid when I heard he dogs starts to bark

F C

It might have been cold or warm, but I did not seem to care

Dm F

I was waving my arms in the aeromatic air

F C

Then I fell to the ground, but I heard a million sounds

Dm F

There were whistles there were bells. There were screams and exploding shells

F C

I found teeth marks in my thigh and I started to cry

Dm F

No longer wanted to try, but I did not ask why

F C

Then your hollow, hollow face was emerging from the willow trees

Dm F

Though I could not see your eyes I continued to gaze with ease

F C

And away my silent lover, you're just changing with the grass

Dm F

Oh so slowly you float, oh so so gracefully you pass

F C

And I do not see you smile. You don't talk, you don't laugh

Dm F

You're the Shepard of my sheep, the keeper of my golden calf

F C

And your love is truly true, mysterious, handsome too

Dm F

In the wind and in the rain, never had to be pursued

F C

When I'm cold and in the gutter, I simply shut my eyes so tight

Dm F

Sitting warm it makes me shudder and I soon feel alright

F C

And away my silent lover, one day we'll shall be together

Dm F

There will remain no contemplation, no more schemes or endeavors

F C

When my heart disintegrates and my voice is no more

Dm F

We'll eternally be mates from the horizon to the shore

F C

But for now it's all nostalgia, you're a cinematic spector

Dm F

Cast your image from the blinds by the glow of the old projector

And away my silent lover

C Dm

And away my silent lover
