[Verse 1]
The
boy had a way with words, he sang, he [C/E]moved with grace
He entertained so
naturally, no [C7/G]gesture out of place
His [Fm/Ab]road in life was
clearly drawn, he didn’t [Bbm7/Ab]hesitate
He
played, they [F#m6/A]saw, he [Fm7-5]conquered
as [Bbm7-5]the
master [Bb7/Ab]of,
as the
master [Ebsus2/F]of his [Ebm/F#]fa… [Eb7/G]te’?
The
girl had an iron [Abm/Gb]soul
no-one could reco[F#/E]gnize
Mat[B/Eb]erial am
bition that her g
entleness [Eb7/G]disguised
She
gave herself to [Abm/Gb]him c
ertain of his [F#/E]fame
[F#m/A]Wanted him for l[F#sus2/Ab]uxury for lime
light and his name
And then he[Bbm7/Ab] sang to
her…
[Verse 2]
I
love you
for your
silence, I
love you
for
your
peace
The still and
calm
re
leases, that
sweep into my soul
That slowly t
ak
e
control.
I
love you f
or your
passion, I l
ove you
for y
our f
ire
The violent
desire,
that b
urns me in it’s
flame
A love I
dare
not
name.
His rise was
irresisti
ble – yeah, he
grew into the part
His
explanation
simply that he
suffered for his art
No
base conside
rations
of some g
littering
reward
The
prize was knowing that (his work)
his work was
noticed
and ad
ored
.
I
love you (yes I love you)
for your
silence (for your silence)
I
love you
for
your
peace
The still and
calm rel
eases, that
sweep into my
soul
And slowly s
lowly
takes
control.
He told the truth,
yes, he [Ab7/Eb] told the
truth (and he told the truth)
Accepting
every
honour
with (with) a masterly display (display)
Of
well rehearsed
reluctance to be [Ab7/Eb]singled out this
way
He
started to
believe
that he was all
they said and
more(and more)
She
forgot – she
forgot the reasons (reasons) she had
wanted
him
before -
yeah.
I
love you
for your
passion (for your passion)
I
love you
for
your
fire
The
violent
desire,
burns me in it’s
flame (
burns me)
A love I
dare I dare
not n
ame.
The still and
calm
releases (releases)
That
sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
That [C#/G#]slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
slowly
take
cont
rol.
[Verse 3]
And when at last they fell apart she [C/E]wished that she could be
The hardened heart of
yesterday, as [C7/G]cynical as he
By [Fm/Ab]changing for the
better [Bbm7/Ab]she had changed things
for the worse
The
words that[F#m6/A] made them [Fm7-5]happy
once now
e……
…[Bb7/Ab]..choed …
echoed [Ebsus2/F] as a [Ebm/F#]curse…[Eb7/G]…..
