The Way You Laugh

C I suppose we are born from our silence Dm But you seem to take yours with you Em Bb You treat all of your love as defiance C Like a child that refuses to bloom C You forced me to face all of your beauty Dm Then turned your beauty away from yourself Em Bb This road that we've taken doesn't seem to stop here C But doesn't seem to go anywhere else F And your heart rests in your chest C Like a charm 'round your neck F Dm G That you couldn't find words to refuse F And this high horse you ride C It has broken its stride Dm Am G As it leads us through worlds built for you C So walk with me a little bit further Dm So I can find the tenderness you keep inside Em Bb God made you with a taste for the madness in love C But you confuse your gift with your pride C And I can't help you with removing that bandage Dm I will leave you all to yourself while you heal Em Bb As I'm learning time is a language C And it's the best way to explain how I feel F And while the magician you meet C Sweeps you off your feet F Dm C Saying he'll teach you tricks all for free F I'll be in the way that you laugh C As he cuts you in half Dm Am G And holds you up for the crowds all to see C So forgive me for feeling so strongly Dm But I feel like we can finally agree Em Bb That true lovers always end up lonely C 'Cause they know how good it could be F I've heard the men in your wake C Describe you as a snake F Dm C As you slip away when they start to wilt F But I firmly believe C You're a lot more like Eve Dm Am G As she enjoys a bit of her guilt C Dm Em Bb C F C F Dm C F C Dm Am G
