G
In the breathless hush of four A.M.
G7
In the dark sits a sad cliche
C Cm
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars
G
Tell me how this came to be
D
Sleeplessness talk to me
C G
She'd say over and over again
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over that this is the end
F C G
'Cause I see it in your eyes
D
What you don't know
C G
Time to let go
F C G
I see it in your eyes
C
There is so much
D G
More out there to be learned
Such mournful words
On this white snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
That's when I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Cm G
Tossing turning roll away
Dm
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Cm G
Lifetime nighttime wake the day
Bm
'Cause tomorrow will see
C B
If you've had your fill of sympathy
G
Will you never cease to be
D
The glutton of sympathy
C G/B
Don't you know the stars are all fading
Bb F G
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile

the glutton of sympathy - a.sturmer / r.manning
in the breathless hush of
four am
in the dark sits a sad cliche'
cloaked in the navy blu of slowly
fading stars
tell me how this came to be
sleeplessness talk to me
she'd say over and over again
fumbling through a cut glass vase
passing lipstick and cotton spools
burning jealous pictures of
marriages of friends
you never asked to be
the glutton of sympathy
she says over and and over that this is
the end
'cause i see it in her eyes
what you don't know, time to let go
i see it in your eyes there is so
much more out there to be learned
such mornful words
on this white snow
vacant page all the lesson
that she learns she packs away
will you never cease to be
the glutton of sympathy
she writes over and over again
that's when i see it in your eyes
what you don't know time to let go
i see it in your eyes
there is so much more out there to
be learned
tossing, turning roll away
indecision won't you ever make up
your mind
lifetime nighttime wake the day
'cause tomorrow will see
if you've had your fill of sympathy
will you never cease to be
the glutton of sympathy
don't you know the stars are all
fading let the sunshine capture the sparkle of
your smile
