The F chord is played with high E string open. (Use your thumb to play the low E string)
Intro: G Am G - F - G Am G
F Em
All my lovers surround me like virgins screen today
F Em F
Waist-deep in the water, pushing my body away
Am G
What makes you go, to put the past away?
Am G
Oh how many drops can you squeeze out to display?
F
What happened one day?

F Em
And one of them stays behind and trails me from afar
F Em
I saw her eyes, lit up like colours in the dark
F Am G
But when our faces met, I was half a world away
Am G
It still shot into my breath as I turned to say
Dm G
Can we meet some other way?
Dm
Where you wont recognize my face
G
Can we meet one way or another you wont, you wont
C Em Dm
Speak up, Speak up, speak up
When we meet another way
You wont recognize my face
When we meet one way or another you wont
C Em F (Intro chords)
Speak up, Speak up, speak up
And one day it suits me, the next simply leaves me dry
It comes on like a lifetime, it passes until you die
How did it feel when it was to be anything at all
But somehow it strikes me, the timing came a bit off
Chorus repeat
Coda:
(Verse continuation)
You wont speak up - speak up x4
I recently uploaded my first take on this song and realised i put the verses as the intro, oops!
