If there is interest, I could go through and do a full tab of the song with all the
string and guitar parts, but this tab only has the few main lines.
Capo 5 on the album
Capo 2 for the Walt Disney concert

Intro
D Bm F#m x3
DBmF#m
I can only say these things to you while you're sleeping.
DBmF#m
I hear the the hum from the wires, the sounds of the morning creeping.
DBmF#m
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me.
D Bm F#m x2
DBmF#m
You tell that you're scared, that you're turning into your mother,
DBmF#m
I feel myself turn into my father.
DBmF#m
We could lie to each other like they do and say we're still happy
DBmF#m
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly.
BmAG
And I feel my heart pounding
BmAG
And I think I might scream
DA
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
BmG
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
DABm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
D Bm F#m x2
DBmF#m
At night you whisper like a ghost and you look so shaken
DBmF#m
You're so quiet and small and you tell me you want to be taken.
DBmF#m
I just never think of you as the kind of girl who would say that.
DBmF#m
You suddenly seem like some faceless thing in my grasp.
BmAG
With your eyes so wide, your face aglow
BmAG
Its the face of someone I don't know.
DA
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
BmG
I can utter every word you'd ever hope to hear
DABm
I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever.
D Bm F#m x7
BmAG
And all I could think is that it must be a kind of rebellion.
BmAG
To arm your fears like soldiers and slay them.
DA
I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
BmG
Through the din of your breathing while you're sleeping here.
DABm
You wake and ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever.
DA
Your face so twisted and your eyes alight
BmG
I want to tell you I can change it when you cry at night
DABm
But I'd be lying.
DABm
Love is defying.
End on D
