Read Them and Weep
(Barry Manilow)
Intro: Bb6-Bb-Gm-Gm7-EbM7-Bb/Eb- F6(2X)
Bb6   Bb   Gm   Gm7  EbM7- F  
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
I thought I'd Bb6leave you with Bba letter or Gmfiery sGm7peech
Like when an EbM7actor makes an exit at the F6end of a Fplay
And I've been Bb6dying for Bbhours
Gm   Gm7  EbM7- F  
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
I'd like to Bb6know why you Bbgave up and you Gmthrew it aGm7way
I'd like to EbM7give you all the reasons and what F6everything meant F  
Well I could Dmtell you good-bye or maybe C6see you around
With just a BbM7touch of a sarcastic Gm7thanks
We started Ebout with a bang and at the Cmtop of the world
C#   F  Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F  
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And Feverything's blank
Refrain:
If I could Bbonly find the F/Bbwords then I would Eb/Bbwrite it all downEb/F  
If I could Bbonly find a F/Bbvoice I would speEb/Bbak
Oh, it's Bbthere in my eyDm7es so can't you Ebsee me toCm7night
C'mon and Gmlook at me and Fread 'em and Bbweep
(Repeat)
(Repeat Intro)
Bb6   Bb   Gm   Gm7  EbM7- F  
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
We let the Bb6past slip aBbway and put the Gmfuture on Gm7hold
Now the EbM7present is nothing but a F6hollowed out dreFam
And I've been Bb6dreaming forBbever
Gm   Gm7  EbM7-F6-F  
Hoping something would eventually come
I saw your Bb6eyes in Bbthe dark, I felt your Gmkiss on my Gm7lips
I traced your EbM7body in the air until the F6bodies were Fnumb
Well I could Dmtell you good-bye or maybe C6see you around
With just a BbM7touch of a sarcastic Gm7thanks
But now the Ebrooms are all empty, the Cm7candles are dark
C#   F  Gm/F-F-Gm/F-F  
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And Feverything's blank
(Repeat Refrain)
Oh, it's Bbthere in my eF/Bbyes and coming Eb/Bbstraight from my heartEb/F  
It's running Bbsilent and angF/Bbry and Eb/Bbdeep
Oh, it's Bbthere in my Dm7eyes and it's aEbll__ I could Cm7say
C'mon and Gmlook at me and Fread 'em and Bbweep
Read 'em and Ebweep - For all the Fhours we'll be sBbpending alone
Read 'em and Ebweep - For the Fdreams we'll ignoreBb  
Running silent and Ebdeep - And all those F/Ebpromises we Dm7promised to Gmkeep
Cm7They won't be Cm/Fkept anyBbmore
Read 'em and Ebweep - For the Fmagic that our Bbbodies had made
Read 'em and Ebweep - For the Fblood that we Bblost
Running silent and dEbeep - And all the Fsecrets that we Dmsomehow betGmrayed
Cm7For whateCm/Fver the cBbost
Read 'em and Ebweep - For the Fmemories still aBblive in the bed
Read 'em and Ebweep - For the Flies we believedBb  
Running silent and Ebdeep - And all the F/Ebthings that we'll have Dm7never been Gmsaid
Why don't you Gmlook at me and Fread 'em and Bbweep
C'mon and Gmlook at me and F/Aread 'em
It's Bbthere in my F/Bbeyes and coming stEb/Bbraight from my heart
It's running Bbsilent and F/Bbangry and deepEb/Bb  
It's Bbthere in my Dm7eyes, it's Eball I can Cm7say
C'mon and Gmlook at me and Fread 'em and Bbweep
