[Verse 1]
The [C5]boy had a way with words, he sang, he [C/E]moved with grace
He entertained so [Fm]naturally, no [C7/G]gesture out of place
His [Fm/Ab]road in life was [Bbm]clearly drawn, he didn't [Bbm7/Ab]hesitate
He [Ebm]played, they [F#m6/A]saw, he [Fm7-5]conquered[Ddim] as [Bbm7-5]the [E6]master [Bb7/Ab]of,
as the [Ebm]master [Ebsus2/F]of his [Ebm/F#]fa... [Eb7/G]te???
The [Abm]girl had an iron [Abm/Gb]soul [Emaj7]no-one could reco[F#/E]gnize
Mat[B/Eb]erial am[E]bition that her g[F#]entleness [Eb7/G]disguised
She [Abm]gave herself to [Abm/Gb]him c[Emaj7]ertain of his [F#/E]fame
[F#m/A]Wanted him for l[F#sus2/Ab]uxury for lime[Ab]light and his name
And then he[Bbm7/Ab] sang to [Ab7]her...
[Verse 2]
I [C#]love you [A]for your [C#]silence, I [A#m]love you [D#m]for [Ab7]your [C#]peace
[C#]The still and [C#maj7]calm [C#7] re[F#]leases, that [F#m]sweep into my soul
[C#]That slowly t[C]ak[Ab7]e [C#]control.
I [C#]love you f[A]or your [C#]passion, I l[A#m]ove you [D#m]for y[Ab7]our f[C#]ire
[C#]The violent [C#maj7]desire, [C#7]that b[F#]urns me in it's [F#m]flame
[C#]A love I [C]dare [Ab7]not [C#]name.
[Cborus]
His rise was [C#]irresisti[A]ble - yeah, he [C#]grew into the part
His [D#m]explanation [Ab7]simply that he [C#]suffered for his art
No [C#]base conside[C#maj7]rations [C#7]of some g[F#]littering [F#m]reward
The [F#]prize was knowing that (his work) [F#m]his work was [C#]noticed [C]and ad[Ab7]ored[C#].
I [C#]love you (yes I love you) [A]for your [C#]silence (for your silence)
I [A#m]love you [D#m]for [Ab7]your[C#] peace
[C#]The still and [C#maj7]calm rel[C#7]eases, that [F#]sweep into my [F#m]soul
[C#]And slowly s[C]lowly [Ab7]takes [C#]control.
[C#]He told the truth, [Bbm7]yes, he [Ab7/Eb] told the [C#]truth (and he told the truth)
Accepting [C#]every [A]honour [C#]with (with) a masterly display (display)
Of [C#]well rehearsed [Bbm7]reluctance to be [Ab7/Eb]singled out this [C#]way
He [C#]started to [C#maj7]believe [C#7]that he was all [F#]they said and [F#m]more(and more)
She [F#]forgot - she [F#m]forgot the reasons (reasons) she had [C#]wanted [C]him [Ab7]before -[C#] yeah.
I [C#]love you [A]for your [C#]passion (for your passion)
I [A#m]love you [D#m]for [Ab7]your [C#]fire
The [C#]violent [C#maj7]desire, [C#7]burns me in it's [F#]flame ([F#m]burns me)
[C#]A love I [C]dare I dare [Ab7]not n[C#]ame.
[C#]The still and[C#maj7] calm [C#7] [F#]releases (releases)
That [F#m]sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
That [C#/G#]slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) [G#7]slowly [F#]take [F#7]cont[C#]rol.
[Verse 3]
[C5]And when at last they fell apart she [C/E]wished that she could be
The hardened heart of [Fm]yesterday, as [C7/G]cynical as he
By [Fm/Ab]changing for the [Bbm]better [Bbm7/Ab]she had changed things [F#maj7]for the worse
The [Ebm]words that[F#m6/A] made them [Fm7-5]happy [Ddim]once now [Bbm7]e......[Bb]...[Bb7/Ab]..choed ...
[Ebm]echoed [Ebsus2/F] as a [Ebm/F#]curse...[Eb7/G].....
[Outro]
[Abm] [Abm/Gb] [Emaj7] [F#/E] [F#m/A] [F#sus2/Ab] [Ab] [Ab9]
