INTRO Bm7 C#m7 (4x)The elephants left through a hole in the wall
And it can’t be right to pretend that it all didn’t happen
‘Cause it did
She turned away and nobody spoke
Of the china and windows the elephants broke
Just silence
and that’s it
And it seems that we both forgot
We try to be something we are not
But tonight we were shown the truth
‘Cause that’s what elephants [F#/A#]do
Bm7 C#m7 (4x)
Oh, we’re so mistaken
We cover the mess with small talk
And we can’t even see it’s our own heart that is breaking
Breaking the rules
The elephants will come back
And they sure don’t like to be ignored like they have been before
Like a bunch of fools
And it seems that we both forgot
We try to be something we are not
But if we can’t live with the truth
The elephants cannot live [F#/A#]too
F#m7 Gmaj7 Em11 (4x)
And elephants die alone
PIANO INTERLUDE Bm7 C#m7 C#m7 Cm7 (3x) Bm7
So let us start to remember
All the things that we want to do
We should just skip the food over candlelight
I know I want to crush all the tables with you
I want to dance just like elephants do
I want to wreck everything
That I once held for a place that is home
Now I know that it’s you that is home
