[Intro]
Dm Bb F A A
 
[Verse]
Dm
I
Bb            F             A    A
   Fought the angels here today
Dm
Hope
Bb            F             A    A
My defeat will end this play
          Dm
Everybody knows that
Bb        F                 A    A
   I only have myself to blame
          Dm
Everybody knows that
Bb            F             A    A
   Softly, softly wins the game
 
[Chorus]
Dm
Trust
Bb      F              A    A
   I'll try to learn again
Dm  Bb
My words
     F           A
Are seldom for a friend
 
[Verse]
Dm
Knew
Bb        F                     A    A
   At the time that they came out
Dm
Wish
Bb         F              A     A
   I could have them disallowed
Dm
Everybody knows that
Bb        F                     A    A
We say things we do not mean
Dm
Everybody knows that
Bb        F                     A    A
We say things that are unclean
 
[Chorus]
Dm
Trust
Bb      F              A    A
   I'll try to learn again
Dm  Bb
My words
     F           A
Are seldom for a friend
 
[Verse]
Dm
Run
Bb        F                     A    A
Conversations in my head
Dm
Write
Bb        F                     A    A
My own scripts to dish the dread
Dm
And if I speak out loud
Bb        F                     A    A
I will have to change the rules
Dm
For speaking's out of bounds
Bb        F                     A    A
If it's practised by a fool
 
[Chorus]
Dm
Trust
Bb      F              A    A
   I'll try to learn again
Dm  Bb
My words
     F           A
Are seldom for a friend
Dm      Bb
So lend me
F                     A    A
An ear to lean upon
Dm       Bb
To speak to
F                      A   A
And learn my speaking from
