A Bm
I wish you had been at your memorial
D A
Seeing someone proposing on stage
Bm
I couldn't get through my song for you
D A
When it came to saying your name
Bm
I can still see the room at the hospital
D A
Pretty, painted tile
Bm
I can still see your skin turning purple
D A E
Milly of the Nile
F#m
Can you hear me?
E
Did you mean it?
F#m
Did you plan it out?
E
Or was it an accident?
A Bm
Time, time, up and down the blue screen
D A
It's dawn and I'm insane
Bm
Love's just a word and not what the word means
D A
But I'll say it just the same
Bm
Talking to an entity
D A
Made of endless night
Bm
I dream in TV dialogue
D A E
A world of shadow and light
F#m
I know it don't work that way
E
But maybe you'll come back some day
F#m
I know it don't work like that
E
But maybe you can take it back
( A Bm D A )
( A Bm D A )
( E )
A Bm
Now that there's no need to say a word
D A
Can I still make amends?
Bm
But silence, the only kindness I heard
D A
Forgiveness, the only revenge
Bm
Meeting all of the people
D A
I've heard of from your past
Bm
Reading through all of your letters
D A
Looking for your love
( E )
F#m
You told me that love
E
Is when someone asks you
F#m
"Please leave me alone"
E
And you really do
F#m
You looked into my eyes
E
'Til I was your mother and son
F#m
I tried to look away
E
But saw you in everyone
A Bm
I wish you had been at your memorial
D A
