lyrics & basic chords (relative to capo)...
G G
Say the words I cannot say
C C
Say them on another day
G G D C
Fragile words like these will cut your tongue
G G
Was I good enough? Was I bad enough?
C C
When I wanted more, yeah, you had enough
Em C Em D G
But nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you
(chords same as first verse)
And every slow-lit cigarette that nervous hands can barely get the courage
I could always feel your eyes
And those dresses you made look like gowns
You're a sinner but the devil didn't turned you down
Em C Em D G G/F#
But, nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you
Em C Em C
Nobody's gonna try for you, and nobody's gonna lie for you
Em D G
And nobody's gonna do like I for you
Bridge chords: D C C D E E
(chords same as first verse)
Hold me like you never could, I'll hold you like I said I would
Air or light won't breathe nor shine between
With your feather lips, yeah, you fly away
Well I hope they come back down someday, 'cos
(chords same as first chorus)
Nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you
Somebody's getting by for you, I don't bend, I just break in two
Somebody like me... I'd die for you
