C#              A#m             D#m    G#
I’m calling out but no one will be hearing
    C#           A#m          D#m  G#
I’m laughing but I cannot be heard
    C#         A#m             D#m   G#
I’m crying but no one will be drying
      D#m G#      C#
these tears that fall

[Chorus]
   C#        A#m          D#m         G#
so how do we ever face a thousand violins
    C#        A#m        D#m        G#
and how do we ever even start to begin

[Verse 2]
     C#          A#m             D#m    G#
it's raining without a sign of stopping
     C#        A#m             D#m  G#
it's sunny but no one getting warm
   C#         A#m                  D#m   G#
in heaven the harps have all been broken
          D#m G#      C#
and these tears they fall

[Chorus]
   C#        A#m          D#m          G#
so how do we ever face a thousand violins
    C#        A#m        D#m        G#
and how do we ever even start to begin

[Verse 3]
B                       C#m    F#
all through the days now faded away
B                      C#m          F#
one thought remains one thought does stay
B                       C#m  F#
it haunts me still it will remain
B                      C#m     F#
I'm lost in wonder and I hear again

[Chorus]
        C#        A#m          D#m         G#
tell me how do we ever face a thousand violins
    C#        A#m       D#m        G#
and how do we ever even start to begin
        C#        A#m          D#m         G#
tell me how do we ever face a thousand violins
        C#        A#m       D#m        G#
tell me how do we ever even start to begin

[Outro]
E   D#m  D  C#
thousand violins
