I don't sing twice, so listen!


I don't sing Em twice

I leave it in the Bm air

If you miss the Am moment

It won't be B7 there …


EmBm-AmB7


Smoke in the Em room velvet and gold

Stories are Bm written before they're told

Nobody Am moves but something shifts

When Em silence starts giving gifts


I don't chase Em eyes I don't demand

I let the Bm moment understand

There's something Am fragile in what I do

It only lives if Em it reaches you

You don't C know when it starts

But you B7 feel when it's gone


I don't sing Em twice, I don't repeat the Bm truth

Every Am note I give away was meant for Em you Bm

Don't stay long e-Em nough for doubt to inter-Bm fere

If you felt it Am once... Bm you were meant to be Em here


Em Lights don't matter, time stands still

Bm Some things happen against your will

Not Am everything is made to last

Some Bm songs belong to the past


You can't re-Em wind what you ignore

That's Bm not what music's for

It's not a Am loop it's not a game

You either catch it Em or miss the flame

You don't C hold it, it Bm holds you


I don't sing Em twice, I don't repeat the Bm truth

Every Am note I give away was meant for Em you B7

I don't stay long e-Em nough for doubt to inter-Bm fere

If you felt it Am once... Bm you were meant to be Em here


Am You don't get a second chance Em With something real

C That's what makes it matter B7


I don't sing Em twice, I leave it in your skin

If you let it pass you Am by... it won't come back a-Em gain B7

I don't stay for-Em ever, I don't ex-Bm plain why

Am I just sing it once, B7 Then I say good-Em bye
