Tom : C
F Cmaj7
So little to say
But so much time
Em
Despite my empty mouth
Am
The words are in my mind
F
Please wear the face
Cmaj7
The one where you smile
Because you
Em
Lighten up my heart
Am
When I start to cry
F
Forgive me first love
Cmaj7
But I'm tired
Em
I need to get away
Am
To feel again
F
Try to understand why
Cmaj7
Don't get so close
To change my mind
Em
Please wipe that look
Out of your eyes
It's bribing me
Am
To doubt myself
F Cmaj7
Simply, it's tiring
( F Cmaj7 Em Am )
Em
This love has dried up
Am
And stayed behind
F
And if I stay
Cmaj7
It'd be a lie
Em
Then choke on words
Am
I'd always hide
F
Excuse me first love
Cmaj7
But we're through
Em
I need to taste the kiss
Am
From someone new
F
Forgive me first love
Cmaj7
But I'm too tired
Em
I'm bored to say
The least and I
Am
I lack desire
( F Cmaj7 Em Am )
Forgive me first love (4x)
Forgive me
Forgive me first love (2x)
