INTRO Bm7 C#m7 (4x)
Bm7 C#m7
The elephants left through a hole in the wall
Bm7 C#m7 Am9 D9 Gm9 C9
And it can't be right to pretend that it all didn't happen
Bm9 C#m7
'Cause it did
Bm7 C#m7
She turned away and nobody spoke
Bm7 C#m7
Of the china and windows the elephants broke
Am9 D9 Gm9 C9
Just silence
Bm9 C#m7
and that's it
Em7 F#m7
And it seems that we both forgot
Em9 F#m9
We try to be something we are not
Em7 F#m7
But tonight we were shown the truth
Gmaj7 F#/A#
'Cause that's what elephants do
Bm7 C#m7 (4x)
Oh, we're so mistaken
Bm7 C#m7
We cover the mess with small talk
Bm7 C#m7 Am9 D9 Gm9 C9
And we can't even see it's our own heart that is breaking
Bm7 C#m7
Breaking the rules
Bm7 C#m7
The elephants will come back
Bm7 C#m7 Am9 D9 Gm9 C9
And they sure don't like to be ignored like they have been before
Bm7 C#m7
Like a bunch of fools
Em7 F#m7
And it seems that we both forgot
Em9 F#m9
We try to be something we are not
Em7 F#m7
But if we can't live with the truth
Gmaj7 F#/A#
The elephants cannot live too
F#m7 Gmaj7 Em11 (4x)
And elephants die alone
PIANO INTERLUDE Bm7 C#m7 C#m7 Cm7 (3x) Bm7
Em7 F#m7
So let us start to remember
Em7 F#m7
All the things that we want to do
Em7 F#m7
We should just skip the food over candlelight
Gmaj7 Bmaj7
I know I want to crush all the tables with you
C#m7 G#m7
I want to dance just like elephants do
Gmaj7
I want to wreck everything
Bmaj7 D7
That I once held for a place that is home
Gmaj7 A
Now I know that it's you that is home
Bm7 C#m7
