[Intro]
C Am Dm G
C Am Dm G C
[Verse 1]
CEach Amtime that I hold the Dmdice
the Gnumbers fadeC  
Cand LeavAmin' marks in my hDmands
where the Gchalk and dust remaiCn
Cbut lieAms can be read like nDmotes
She sGaid I'd leave for SCpain
She Amcould've known that Dmcity's life
from the Gmodel she gave meC  
[Chorus]
SAmome would ask for Dmmore
fGool them with silence
Ccast the stone dowAmn
and at what they Dmsaw
just to fGollow the siren
Cas she moved Amon
and passed through the cDmrowd
She cGarried our hearts ouCt
it's true that Fsome words are lGost
cause you cGhose not to hear them
[Interlude]
C Am Dm G

C Am Dm G
C Am Dm G
[Verse 2]
CThe eAmyes of two years have mDmarked
new Glines on her face
Cthey pass me Amby in the Dmdark
my hGands haven't changed
Cwith a Amcrayon and pen from a Dmcan
She Gdrew a map of SCpain
Still Fhave it now
with a Glittle white
but the markings are fadingC  
[Chorus]
SAmome would ask for Dmmore
fGool them with silence
Ccast the stone dowAmn
and at what they Dmsaw
just to fGollow the siren
Cas she moved Amon
and passed through the cDmrowd
She cGarried our hearts ouCt
it's true that Fsome words are lGost
cause you cGhose not to hear them
FNo ohhh

[Intro]

C Am Dm G

C Am Dm G C

[Verse 1]

C Am Dm

Each time that I hold the dice

G C

the numbers fade

C Am Dm

and Leavin' marks in my hands

G C

where the chalk and dust remain

C Am Dm

but lies can be read like notes

G C

She said I'd leave for Spain

Am Dm

She could've known that city's life

G C

from the model she gave me

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Some would ask for more

fool them with silence

C Am

cast the stone down

and at what they saw

just to follow the siren

C Am

as she moved on

and passed through the crowd

G C

She carried our hearts out

F G

it's true that some words are lost

cause you chose not to hear them

[Interlude]

C Am Dm G

[Verse 2]

C Am Dm

The eyes of two years have marked

new lines on her face

C Am Dm

they pass me by in the dark

my hands haven't changed

C Am Dm

with a crayon and pen from a can

G C

She drew a map of Spain

Still have it now

with a little white

but the markings are fading

[Chorus]

Am Dm

Some would ask for more

fool them with silence

C Am

cast the stone down

and at what they saw

just to follow the siren

C Am

as she moved on

and passed through the crowd

G C

She carried our hearts out

F G

it's true that some words are lost

cause you chose not to hear them

No ohhh

[Outro]

C Am Dm G
