Am    C         D  F
I set the scene to tell the tale
Am        C         D         F
Who could have known his face would pale?
Am      C     Dm       F
Life is never what you want
  Am       C       Dm       A
Unless you plan it from the start
     F                E
Now, wouldn't that be smart?

[Chorus]
           Am         * D
Don't make a sound as I cry out
           * F           * Am
Is that what love is all about?
           C            E
Don't make a sound as I call out
              Am            G#
I know that's not what love's about
           G
Don't make a sound
           Fm
Don't make a sound
           C
Don't make a sound

[Verse 2]
Am      C      D    F
So this is how it always goes
Am       C        D           F
And what is real, we'll never know
Am        C     Dm       F
Trust me, now I know firsthand
   Am      C        Dm        A
My fiction leads my real life and
     F            E
This isn't what I planned

[Chorus]
           Am         * D
Don't make a sound as I cry out
           * F           * Am
Is that what love is all about?
           G            E
Don't make a sound as I call out
           Am              G#
I know that's not what love's about
           G
Don't make a sound
           Fm
Don't make a sound
           C
Don't make a sound

[Bridge]
   Dm
My melody's my malady, my hand inscribes my grave
  A#                           Dm             Gm               A
I told you once, I'll tell you twice, there's nothing left to say
Dm                A                  C         G
I don't know what I've been told, my memory escaped
   A#             Dm                                   A
So don't try to refresh my mind, I've reasoned it that way
     E             A
Just shhhhhhhh...

[Chorus]
           Dm           Gm
Don't make a sound as I cry out
             Dm
Is that what love is all about?
           C            A
Don't make a sound as I call out
              Dm            C#
I know that's not what love's about
           F
Don't make a sound
           A#m
Don't make a sound
           F
Don't make a sound
           A#
Don't make a sound
           F
Don't make a sound
           Gm
Don't make a sound
           F
Don't make a sound
           A#m
Don't make a sound
           F
Don't make a sound
