G 
In the breathless hush of four A.M. 
       G7 
In the dark sits a sad cliche 
               C                          Cm 
Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars 
                 G 
Tell me how this came to be 
              D 
Sleeplessness talk to me 
                   C     G 
She'd say over and over again 
 
Fumbling through a cut glass vase 
Passing lipstick, cotton spools 
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends 
You never asked to be 
The glutton of sympathy 
She says over and over that this is the end 
 
                        F C G 
'Cause I see it in your eyes 
         D 
What you don't know 
        C   G 
Time to let go 
                  F C G 
I see it in your eyes 
C 
There is so much 
D                    G 
More out there to be learned 
 
Such mournful words 
On this white snow vacant page 
All the lessons that she learns she packs away 
Will you never cease to be 
The glutton of sympathy 
She writes over and over again 
 
That's when I see it in your eyes 
What you don't know 
Time to let go 
I see it in your eyes 
There is so much 
More out there to be learned 
 
Cm                    G 
Tossing turning roll away 
                     Dm 
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind 
Cm                          G 
Lifetime nighttime wake the day 
                     Bm 
'Cause tomorrow will see 
          C                B 
If you've had your fill of sympathy 
 
               G 
Will you never cease to be 
               D 
The glutton of sympathy 
                   C             G/B 
Don't you know the stars are all fading 
        Bb                    F              G 
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
