He told her when she played,
Am Em
wings sprouted from her shoulder blades
G D
And every bone inside her seemed to change.
Em
So on her fingers moved
Am Em
Over notes she hoped would soothe,
G D
His jagged soul, caressing every groove.
C G
Oh and how she longed to say
Em D
That she'd missed his troubled ways,
C G D
Oh and if she could she'd do it all again.
C Bm
Cause sometimes every word has been used,
Em D
And theres nothing left to do

G D

Wishing so damn hard he'd kiss her like before
C Bm
Sometimes every word has been used,
Em D
And theres nothing left to do

But hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
C G D Em G C
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
Em G C Em G C
(OOOOOooooo) (OOOOOooooo)
C G
Cause sometimes every inch of you is bruised,
Em D
And theres nothing left to prove
C G D *
So just hold the one you can't have in the sweet arms of a tune.
C G D *
Yeah hold the one you can't love in the sweet arms of a tune.
