How I
G
Weep for the loss
G
And it creeps down my chin

For the heart and the hair
F
And the skin and the air
Eb D5 F
That swirls itself around the bare
[Verse 2]

How I weep

How I weep
G
How I weep and I sleep

And I march and I dance
F
And I sing and I laugh and I laugh
F
And I laugh
Eb
But inside
D
But inside
F
Inside I weep
G
Inside I weep and I weep
F
For a loss
F
That's so deep
Eb C
That it hardens and turns into stone
[Verse 3]
G
There it stays
G
And rolls through bones
F
Till they crumble
Eb
And the earth doesn't spin
D5 F
It's got no way to win
G
And the stars stare down with sad clown faces
F
And they taunt me
F
They taunt me
Eb
So I run and I run and I run and I run
F
But I've nowhere to go except into the sun
[Verse 4]
G F
And I weep for the loss and the loss weeps for me
Eb F
The loss weeps for me
G
Then it whacks me straight into my stomach at night
F
It's a hard blow to take with all of its might
Eb
And it tries to be sorry, it tries to be sweet
Dm F
Then it runs out the door as if on two feet
[Verse 5]
G F
And I stand there and wonder when will I be free
Eb C
Then I realized I held it, it never held me
Bb A5
It had to hurt me to finally be gone
D5 F
'Cus I made the mistake of dragging it on
G F
And I wonder what kind of person am I
Eb C
Who weeps for a loss but can't tell it goodbye

How I

How I weep

How I weep

How I weep
