Silhouette Serenade

Violin intro  (4 measures) 


Band: 

E   C#m    B    A  (2 times) 



E                  C#m   B 
  The last thing I wanna do right now is  

A                E 
read your stupid poetry 

C#m                B 
why can't you just tell me what you  

A            E 
really wanna say? 

C#m                 
  You'd clear your conscience with  

A 
words so weak and empty but 

G#m               A             B - 
something in your eyes gave you away 

    -         - 
and I've been lonely like a  

E     C#m       B   A 
silhouette or a serenade 

  E       C#m       B     A 
a heart attack or a man betrayed, 

    E       C#m 
the arms of love are  

B       A 
holding me like a  

E     C#m       B   A 
silhouette or a serenade 


E                 C#m     B               A                 E 
  Is this all you have to say this broken boy would hang on every word  

    C#m              B               A            E 
you tell me that you need me while I slowly fall apart 

C#m 
  you healed your heartache with  

A 
words so cool and callous but the 

G#m             A              B - 
absence of your tears gave you away 

    -         - 
and I've been lonely like a  

E     C#m       B   A 
silhouette or a serenade 

  E       C#m       B     A 
a heart attack or a man betrayed  

    E       C#m        
the arms of love are  

B       A 
holding me like a  

E     C#m       B   A 
silhouette or a serenade 


Lead: 


C#m   A   C#m   G# 
                   Oh 
C#m   A   C#m   G# 
Oh 


C#m              A 
  And all pretty poems have to end 

C#m             G# 
  so I say this before I leave 

C#m                 A 
  if words are your weapons my dear I  

    B 
surrender,  

         E       C#m      B    A    
surren - der                   surren- 

E       C#m      B     A 
der 



F#    D#m       C#  B 
silhouette or a serenade 

  F#      D#m       C#    B 
a heart attack or a man betrayed  

    F#      D#m 
the arms of love are  

C#      B       
holding me,  

    F#       D#m      C#     B       F# 
say yeah,             oh     oh      oh ...
