^Edon't break too ^Bmany hearts. ^{A E}don't take too ^Bmany arrows in the ch^Aest. ^C#cry comfortably, let us^E all know what ^Byou're thinking. ^{C# E}is there a gesture i ^Bcould use to clea^Arly express ^Ei'm at an ut^Bter loss for words? ^{A C#}is there a part of ^Byou that's t^Aorn? that's larger than lif^Ee? ^Ethat'll h^Bold on for one m^C#ore night?

^Ei've got a speech to m^Bake. ^Efollowed by a big para^Bde.

^Enorthside. cl^Aosed eyes. ^C#all chara^Bdes go on for^Aever. ^Ehands tied with^A fools pride. ^C#in a slow^Bly fleeing su^Ammer.

^Ejust throw yo^Bur hands up at the^A sky. ^Eno use tryi^Bng to explain ^Athis. ^C#the clouds are ^Bmirrors. i'm disgu^Aised. ^Ei'm not all t^Bhat entertainin^C#g. ^Ethe city looks ^Bthe same ^{A E}until you noti^Bce smaller chan^Ages. ^C#it still kno^Bws us all by n^Aame. ^Eit holds us clo^Bse to its heart ^C#it holds us close^B to its heart

^Eand now this s^Bmile has a bitter cu^C#rve. ^Enow these ^Beyes are unenchan^Ated. ^Eand all we see i^Bs a faded image^C# of what we used t^Eo be. ^Ehow can ^Bwe relate ^A

^Ewhen we don^B't know a thing ^C#about each other anymor^Ae? ^Ewhen we don^B't know a thing ^C#about each other anymor^Ae? ^Ewhen we don^B't know a thing ^C#about each other anymor^Ae? ^Ewhen we don^B't know each oth^C#er anymore? ^A

^Eis there a ^Bgesture i could ^C#use to clearly express ^{B A}i'm at an utt^Ber loss for words^E.
