C
You said it was a wasted promise
    G/B                      Am
I thought it was a waste of time
                                 G/B
You said it was the perfect crime
C
You thought it was the perfect picture
   G/B                      Am
I think it didn't fit the frame
                         G/B
The carnival in the rainh

F
I don't know what I'm doing,
Am            G                    F
But there is nothing wrong with that,
All we built left to ruin,
Am           G             F
and I all I wanted was a chat,
What the hell are we doing,
Am       G               F   G
I am so tempted to turn back.

Chorus:
F
Don't shout no doubt,
    G        Am
My tongue is tied,
F                      G
Our fears will all combine,
     Am
to whispers in time
F
Heart out, my mouth
     G    Am
Puts up a fight
F                      G
Our fears will all combine
     Am         F
To whispers in time,
             G
whispers in time, whispers in
  C
time.

I should have told you all my secrets
I never took the chance you gave
I guess I never was that brave
I never meant to leave you hanging
When honesty is in dispute
We danced around the truth

Not sure what we're proving
With all this battle and attack
What the hell are we doing?
I'm just so tempted to turn back

Chorus:
Don't shout, no doubt my tongue is tied
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
Heart out, my mouth puts up a fight
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
(whispers in time)
Whispers in time (whispers in time)
Whispers in time (whispers in time)
Whispers in time

Don't shout, no doubt my tongue is tied
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
Heart out, my mouth puts up a fight
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
Don't shout, no doubt my tongue is tied
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
Heart out, my mouth puts up a fight
Our fears will all combine to whispers in time
Whispers in time
Whispers in time
