She tests every word like a fine wine 
                Dm7              Dm   Am     Dm7 Dm C

You could hear a pin drop from miles away

You could hear a heart stop, as plain as day

Where are the dreams we were after?

Where is the joy and the laughter? 
               G               Dm        Am   C 
Were they only habits, we were doomed to lose 
      G           Bm      E 
Or is destiny not ours to choose?

I don't regret what I have done 
      G               Dm          Am    
If my actions make you speak your mind 
Bb                          D 
Angry words are better than none
