                  G
You decide you're evil
                    Bm
You test it on the skies
                 G
This complicated evil
                Bm
It does you no justice here
                        G
Yeah, I'm supposed to shine, dear
                Em
But I can't see my hands
                     G
We drift apart like colours
                   Em
And learn from mistakes you've put into
                C  D Em
place when you walked
         Bm
Walked away
                                   C D Em
I'm hanging on the words that you say
G Bm D
Oh

       C           D
And I don't know why
                          Em
But silent movies always make me cry
           C         D
It's the black and white
                              Em
Everybody trying to make it through the night

Chorus:
         C         D
Well, I don't know anyone else
        Bm     Em
And I'm always all by myself
           C             D
Someone please tell me why
                   Em   D   C
The silent movies make me cry

Are we cornered into my mind
'Cause I don't know where to go
Such a complicated evil
You're pulling on strings you've put
into place when you walked
When you walked away
A subtle change but I can't seem to fake
And it feels so strange

And I don't know why
The silent movies always make me cry
It's the black and white
Everybody's trying to make it through the night

Chorus
