[Intro]
C C/B Am Dm G

[Verse 1]
C                     C/B               Am
How loud would I have to scream
Dm                               G
To make a sound, to let you know?
C                     C/B                               Am
And how tenderly would I have to whisper
Dm                               G
That it’s ok, that we can go?
C                                         C/B                     Am
But how cold the touch of your tongue
Dm                                                   G
Your weighted words make no sound

[Bridge]
C                               C/B                     Am
But how violent must my loneliness become
Dm                     G                     Dm
To burn my clothes, bury my crown?
(Dm)            G          C       C/B       Am           Dm
‘Cause would it be enough for you to love me

And would I be enough for you?

How reckless is the heart that bleeds for love
Dm                                                   G
That knows the warmth, that knows the taste?
C C/B Am
And how blessed is the diamond in the rough
Dm G
Who would offer her embrace?
C C/B Am
And how foolishly the lonely mind can wander
Dm G
And blinding lights falling down

[Bridge]
C C/B Am
And I’m sorry that I didn’t tell you sooner
Dm G Dm
So burn my clothes, and bury my crown
(Dm) G C C/B Am

I’d never be enough for you
