Verse 1
  Dm               C  F                          C           G 
I didn't hear you enter but I know you have been circling my room 
   C               F                           C         F      G        Em F Em Am 
I listen for your footsteps, close my eyes and wait for you to move 
        C             F                      C      F      G 
You're hiding like a memory, teasing like a girl I used to know 
          Em          Am               F       C       F 
You're tumbling and gamboling, calling to the weakness in my soul 
  
  
Chorus
G                Em 
  Telling me to speak

Verse 2
                    C    F                   C         Dm    G 
And in one reckless moment you move a little too close to my ear 
                   C        F                       Em       F      G 
I grab a hold with both hands and scramble to make sense of what I hear 
                 Em F           Dm      C      Dm G 
I try to tie you down with synonyms and sad piano sounds 
                   C                       C                       G 
For a moment you surrender, one moment we both stand on the same ground 
  
  
Chorus
                C 
And I begin to speak 
  
Am C 
Am F

Verse 3
                 C       Am   F        Dm                     G 
And all at once you pull away but I'm lost within your atmosphere 
                   F                                 G 
As quickly as you found me I panic as you try to disappear 
                     F                                           G 
I reach out with my fingers and try to pull the letters back in line 
                 C     F                                             G 
Your words spin out of order and the pounding in my chest is out of time 
  
  
Chorus
                      C 
And I just want to speak
