DON'T SAY A WORD- Sonata Arctica
Standard Tuning, Capo 2
Em Bm Am
Em Bm Am
Em Bm
I am your poison candygram, the love that's meant to fade away
Am Em
Vade retro, alter ego, move aside, I'm choking on this life
Bm
I think I tolerate your hate, as long as you're afraid
Am C
All I wanted was to be with you and suffer every day
Am
Under the moon I hold a wake for a promise torn
B C
Mortally wounded, feelings sheltered me
Am
Once again my shadow will enter your life
B Em
Time to walk with me the last mile
Bm
I read a book about a man, a love, a woman, how they died
Am Em
How I was waved aside, listen how the headless doves cry
Bm
I truly see a madman in the mirror when I'm weak
Am C
I spent a year in love before I realized it's me
Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
B C
Make me believe it, oh I know you're lying
Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
B
Could I let you wait out the night
Em D Em
Mother always said “My son, do the noble thing..."
C Am G D/F# Em
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn
D Em
"It's not how long you live, but what your morals say"
C Am G D/F# Em
Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word
Bm
It won't be long now, love, like mist I slowly fill the room
Am Em
I place a black candle on your chest, the path of night is manifest
Bm
I never wanted us to end up in this catatonic phase
Am C
It was not me who ran away, you made me stray
Am
Open your blue eyes, tell me that you love me, whore
B C
Make me believe it, oh I know you lie
Am
Broke the vow I thought you made, my angel, why
B
Settling the score, we pass the twilight
Em C Em D Em
Mother always said, “My son... do the noble thing"
C Am G D/F# Em
You have to finish what you started, no matter what, now sit, watch and learn

Cannot keep your part of the deal so don't say a word, don't say a word
F#m D F#m E F#m
Strawberry blonde, your stranglehold on my heart is bound to end
D Bm A E F#m
I suppose, life sometimes, it doesn't go the way it was meant
D F#m E F#m
Though you never were a believer, I assure you: I won't die before you
F#m
You read the book now, the part “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust”
Bm G Em G# G
Short is the flight of this little starling
Bm G Em
Love sounds familiar, but the emotion escapes me
Bm G Em G# G
I will carpe the diem while it's still here
Bm G Em D D/C#
And see how the fear of death becomes her
F#m F#dim F#m F#dim
We had it all so sweet.. Made for me, you, indeed
F#m F#dim A C#m
Big secret, small the lie.. Don't cry for me, oh, argentite
F#m F#dim F#m F#dim
No word you say tonight can make this be alright
F#m F#dim A C#m F#m
I'll help you follow through- Remember this? Pacta sunt servanda
F#dim F#m F#dim
The wounds are too deep, I need to keep the scars
F#m F#dim A C#m
To prove there was a time when I loved something more than life
F#m F#dim F#m F#dim
Unlike the last time here, I now have the means and a will sincere
F#m F#dim A C#m F#m
Your knight is nowhere near. Unfortunate for you, this makes me your God

C Am
Closing your eyes, don't ever say you love me, whore

You never meant a word, I know you lied

When there is life, there is despair, indulge me now
B Em
And stay alive this night... I promise you the end before the first light arrives
