Verse 1:
                  G
You decide you're evil
                    Bm
You test it on the skies
                G
This complicated evil
                 Bm
It does you no justice here
                       G
Yeah I'm supposed to shine, dear
                Em   D
But I can't see my hands
                       G
We drift apart like colours
                   Em                                    C  D  Em
And learn from mistakes you've put into place when you walked
        Bm
Walked away
                                   C  D Em
I'm hanging on the words that you say
G  D
Oh
 
Pre-chorus:
     C         D
And I don't know why
                           Em
But silent movies always make me cry
           C        D
It's the black and white
                              Em
Everybody trying to make it through the night
 
Chorus:
        C            D
Well I don't know anyone else
         Bm     Em
And I'm always all by myself
    C               D
So please tell me why
                   Em    D   C
The silent movies make me cry
 
Interlude: C  D  Em
 
Verse 2:
                         G
Are we cornered into my mind
                            Bm
'Cause I don't know where to go
                      G
Such a complicated evil
                      Em          D                       C
You're pulling on strings you've put into place when you walked
          D       Bm
When you walked away
                                     C
a subtle change but I can't seem to fake
                  Bm   D
And it feels so strange
 
Pre-chorus:
       C      D
And I don't know why
                          Em
The silent movies always make me cry
           C        D
It's the black and white
                                 Em
Everybody's trying to make it through the night
 
Chorus:
        C            D
Well I don't know anyone else
        Bm       Em
And I'm always all by myself
    C               D
So please tell me why
                   Em    D   C
The silent movies make me cry
