D A/C# D/C Bm Bb A
G F#m Em G F#m Em
D A/C# D/C
All the words you say to me have music in them
Bm Bb A
All the sorrows and the joys, like magnetism
G F#m Em
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
C Bm Bb A D
And says what is but never asks what isn't
Bm G
But a voice contains many precious things

It laughs and then it sings

And all the lies that we can tell

To our foolish selves
D A/C# D/C
Maybe this is the love song that I refused to
Bm Bb A
Write her when I loved her like I used to
G F#m Em
And I fear my heart may spin and fracture
C Bm Bb A D
Like tears of stone falling from a statue
Bm G
But a voice contains all that's true and false
C#m F#m
Then cries for someone else
F(/D) F7 Gm(/D)
And for some honest tenderness
Bb Bsus4 A+ A6 A-5
So I must confess
D A/C# D/C
All the words you say to me have music in them
Bm Bb A
All the sorrows and the joys, like magnetism
G F#m Em
And a selfish boy looks through a prism
C Bm Bb A D
And says what is but never asks what isn't
