verse 1:
G#The signal is subtle

G#No questions, no answers
FmWe know by F#now to say enough
G#With only simple words
FmWith only F#subtle turns
G#The things we feel alone for one another
chorus:
There is a F#secret that we A#mkeep
I won't C#sleep if you won't sleep
Because toF#night may be the A#mlast chance we'll be G#given
We are compF#elled to A#mdo what C#we must do
We are comF#pelled to do what A#mwe have been forG#bidden
FmSo I won't sleep if F#you won't sleep tonight

Until the A#mlast resilient hope
Has frozen F#deep inside my bones
And this C#broken fate has claimed me
And my F#memories for its own
Your name is A#mpounding through my veins
Can't you F#hear how it is sung'
And I can C#taste you in my mouth
Before the G#words escape my lungs
And I'll wC#hisper only once...

'Cause you will F#be someA#mbody's C#girl
And you will F#keep each A#mother G#warm
But toF#night I am C#feeling A#mcold G# F#
