lyrics & basic chords (relative to capo)... 

G               G 
Say the words I cannot say 

C            C 
Say them on another day 

G                   G                  D          C 
Fragile words like these will cut your tongue 

      G                 G 
Was I good enough? Was I bad enough? 

      C                       C 
When I wanted more, yeah, you had enough 

Em                  C           Em              D             G 
 But nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you 

(chords same as first verse) 
And every slow-lit cigarette that nervous hands can barely get the courage 
I could always feel your eyes 
And those dresses you made look like gowns 
You're a sinner but the devil didn't turned you down 

Em                   C           Em              D              G    G/F# 
 But, nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you 

Em              C           Em                 C 
 Nobody's gonna try for you, and nobody's gonna lie for you 

Em                  D              G 
 And nobody's gonna do like I for you 

Bridge chords: D C C D E E 

(chords same as first verse) 
Hold me like you never could, I'll hold you like I said I would 
Air or light won't breathe nor shine between 
With your feather lips, yeah, you fly away 
Well I hope they come back down someday, 'cos 

(chords same as first chorus) 
Nobody's gonna try for you, nobody's gonna do like I for you 
Somebody's getting by for you, I don't bend, I just break in two 
Somebody like me... I'd die for you
