In the breathless hush of four A.M.

In the dark sits a sad cliche

Cloaked in the navy blue of slowly fading stars

Tell me how this came to be
D
Sleeplessness talk to me
C G
She'd say over and over again
Fumbling through a cut glass vase
Passing lipstick, cotton spools
Burning jealous pictures of marriages of friends
You never asked to be
The glutton of sympathy
She says over and over that this is the end
F C G
'Cause I see it in your eyes
D
What you don't know
C G
Time to let go
F C G
I see it in your eyes
C
There is so much
D G
More out there to be learned
Such mournful words
On this white snow vacant page
All the lessons that she learns she packs away
Will you never cease to be
The glutton of sympathy
She writes over and over again
That's when I see it in your eyes
What you don't know
Time to let go
I see it in your eyes
There is so much
More out there to be learned
Cm G
Tossing turning roll away
Dm
Indecision won't you ever make up your mind
Cm G
Lifetime nighttime wake the day

'Cause tomorrow will see
C B
If you've had your fill of sympathy
G
Will you never cease to be
D
The glutton of sympathy
C G/B
Don't you know the stars are all fading
Bb F G
Let the sunshine capture the sparkle of your smile
