Intro: Am  Dm x4 


verse 1: 
Am    G 
  The flowers have 
Dm     C      G 
wilted on the sill 
    F 
And words have been 
C        G/B       Am 
kept so small and still 
    G          Dm 
And yet if the great 
 C       G 
opinion speaks 
     F        C 
Then sadly we nod 
    G/B         F 
our heads and agree 
         G 
Barely a mention 
        E/G# 
of your name 
On deaf ears a 
Am      G 
distant whisper 
F          Fm(Hold) 
  Whatever no  
one gets it 


Chorus 1: 
     C 
It's already overdue you  
C/E         Em 
will not be heard by many now 
    Am 
But I'll always be amazed  
         F               G   E/G# 
be every sound your ever made 


Post Chorus: Am  Dm   x4 


verse 2: 
Am      G 
  While building a  
Dm  C        G 
tolerance to them 
    F           C 
You made sorrow sound 
     G/B    Am 
like a good friend 
    G 
The well where the 
Dm     C       G 
poison pen was drawn 
    F 
The same place you 
C       G/B 
trusted then but  
        F 
was gone Enemies  
G               E/G# 
battled in your mind 
              Am 
Until all the blood 
     G 
shed leaked down 
F 
  Dried up and  
Fm(hold)
rusted the fight 


Chorus 2: 
     C 
It's already overdue you  
C/E         Em 
will not be heard by many now 
    Am 
But I'll always be amazed  
         F               G 
be every sound your ever made 
    C 
And since I did not know you 
C/E        Em 
I can only say but a few words 
    Am 
Too bad they won't hear your song  
               F            G 
that I've been singing all alone 


Outro: Spoken 
C  Em  Am  F(hold)
