[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

[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
