* Barry Manilow : Read 'em and weep ( Steinman)

Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 Eb Ebsus2 F
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 Eb Ebsus2 F
Bb Gm Eb F
I've been trying for hours just to think of what exactly to say
Bb Gm
I thought I'd leave you with a letter or firey speech
F
Like when an actor makes an exit at the end of a play
Bb
And I've been dying for hours
Gm Eb F
Trying to fill up all the holes with some sense
Bb Gm
I'd like to know why you gave up and you threw it away
Eb F
I'd like to give you all the reasons and what everything meant
Dm Cm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
Bb Gm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
Eb Cm
We started out with a bang and at the top of the world
C# F
Now the guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
Bb
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
(Bb)
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Bb Dm Eb Cm
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Oh, it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 Eb Ebsus2 F
Bb6 Bb Gm Gm7 Eb Ebsus2 F
Bb Gm Eb F
I've been whispering softly trying to build a cry up into a scream
Bb Gm
We let the past slip away and put the future on hold
Eb F F7
Now the present is nothing but a hollowed out dream
Bb
And I've been dreaming forever
Gm Eb F
Hoping something would eventually come
Bb Gm
I saw your eyes in the dark, I felt your kiss on my lips
Eb7 F
I traced your body in the air until the body's were numb
Dm Cm
Well I could tell you good-bye or maybe see you around
Bb Gm
With just a touch of a sarcastic thanks
Eb Cm
But now the rooms are all empty, the candles are dark
C# F
The guns are exhausted and the bullets are blanks
And everything's blank
Bb
If I could only find the words then I would write it all down
(Bb)
If I could only find a voice I would speak
Bb Dm Eb Cm
Oh it's there in my eyes so can't you see me tonight
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
It's running silent and angry and deep
Oh, it's there in my eyes and it's all I could say
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For all the hours we'll be spending alone
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the dreams we'll ignore
Eb Dm Gm
Running silent and deep - And all those promises we promised to keep
Cm F Bb
They won't be kept anymore
Read 'em and weep - For the magic that our bodies had made
Read 'em and weep - For the blood that we lost
Running silent and deep - And all the secrets that we somehow betrayed
For whatever the cost
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the memories still alive in the bed
Eb F Bb
Read 'em and weep - For the lies we believed
Eb Dm Gm
Running silent and deep - And all the things that we'll have never been said
Gm F Bb
Why don't you look at me and read 'em and weep
Gm F
C'mon and look at me and read 'em
Bb
It's there in my eyes and coming straight from my heart
(Bb)
It's running silent and angry and deep
Bb Dm Eb Cm
It's there in my eyes, it's all I can say
Gm F Bb
C'mon and look at me and read 'em and weep
(Chords:)
