I cried for you    (video)    (intro)

 

    G - F - C - D - G

 

    G                                                F 

1.    You're beautiful so silently, it lies beneath a shade of blue

           C                 D                  G

    it struck me so violently when I looked at you.

G                                                                F 

    But others pass, they never pause, to feel that magic in your hand,

C                                  D                     G

    to me you're like a wild rose, they never understand why.

 

G                 Am                           C           D 

    I cried for you, when the sky cried for you,

                          D7                                       G

and when you went, I became a hopeless drifter.

G                                       Am                  C                  D 

    But this life was not for you, though I learned from you

                     D7                      G

that beauty need only be a whisper.  

 

    G                                       F 

3.      I'll cross the sea for a different world

                      C               D             G

    with your treasure, a secret for me to hold.

G                                                          F 

    In many years they may forget this love of ours, or that we met,

               C                            D                           G

    they may not know how much you meant to me.

 

+ CHORUS

 

Am                     D                      G               D           C 

    Without you now I see, how fragile the world can be,

Am                               D                    G                           D            - C - G 

    and I know you've gone away, but in my heart you'll always sta.........y.

 

                                      D                D7              G

+  CHORUS    + That beauty need only be a whisper.
