When It Sings Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][F#m][D][Bm][Bbaug][D][G][Em][G]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
All the [D]words you say [F#m]to me
Have [D]mu [C]sic [D]in them
All the [Bm]sorrows and [Bbaug]the joys
like [D]magnetis[A]m
And [G]a selfish boy looks [Em]through a prism
And [C]says what [Bm]is
But [Bb]never [A]asks [D]what isn't

[Verse 2]
But a voice [Bm]contains many [G]precious things
It [C#]laughs
And then [F#m]it sings
And all [F]the lies that we can [Gm]tell
[Bb]To our f[Faug]oolish s[Ebdim]elves
[A]Maybe

[Verse 3]
[D]this is the love [F#m]song
that [D]I r[C]efuse[D]d to
[Bm]Write her when I [Bbaug]loved her lik[D]e I used to
And [G]I fear my heart may [Em]spin and fracture
Like [C]tears of [Bm]stone [Bb]falling [A]from a [D]statue

[Verse 4]
But a voice [Bm]contains all
that's true [G]and false
Then [C#]cries for [F#m]someone else
And for some [Dm]hon e[F]st tendern[Gm]ess
[Bb]So I m[Faug]ust confess
[Ebdim]

[Verse 5]
[A]All the word[D]s you say t[F#m]o me
Have [D]music in them
All the [Bm]sorrows and [Bbaug]the joys
like [D]magnetis[A]m
And [G]a selfish boy looks [Em]through a prism
And [C]says what [Bm]is
[Bb]But never [A]asks wha[D]t isn't
