Memorial

A                           Bm
I wish you had been at your memorial
D                           A
Seeing someone proposing on stage
                          Bm
I couldn't get through my song for 
you
D                           A
When it came to saying your name
I can still see the room at the 
Bm
hospital
D                   A
Pretty, painted tile
I can still see your skin turning 
Bm
purple
D            A        E
Milly of the Nile

F#m
Can you hear me?
E
Did you mean it?
F#m
Did you plan it out?
E
Or was it an accident?

A               Bm
Time, time, up and down the blue 
screen
D                  A
It's dawn and I'm insane
                           Bm
Love's just a word and not what the 
word means

D                        A
But I'll say it just the same
              Bm
Talking to an entity
D               A
Made of endless night
               Bm
I dream in TV dialogue
D                      A      E
A world of shadow and light

F#m
I know it don't work that way
E
But maybe you'll come back some day
F#m
I know it don't work like that
E
But maybe you can take it back

( A  Bm  D  A )

( E )

A                           Bm
Now that there's no need to say a 
word
D                A
Can I still make amends?
                      Bm
But silence, the only kindness I 
heard
D                     A
Forgiveness, the only revenge
                   Bm
Meeting all of the people
           D            A
I've heard of from your past
                            Bm
Reading through all of your letters
D                A
Looking for your love

( E )

F#m
You told me that love
        E
Is when someone asks you
        F#m
"Please leave me alone"
        E
And you really do
            F#m
You looked into my eyes
                E
'Til I was your mother and son
           F#m
I tried to look away
               E
But saw you in everyone

A                           Bm
I wish you had been at your memorial
D                           A
