Elephants Ruben Hein
INTRO Bm7 C#m7 (4x)
The [Bm7]elephants left through a [C#m7]hole in the wall
And it [Bm7]can't be right to [C#m7]pretend that it all didn't happen [Am9] [D9] [Gm9] [C9]
'Cause it did [Bm9] [C#m7]
[Bm7]She turned away and [C#m7]nobody spoke
Of the [Bm7]china and windows the [C#m7]elephants broke
Just silence[Am9] [D9] [Gm9] [C9]
and that's it [Bm9] [C#m7]
[Em7]And it seems that we [F#m7]both forgot
[Em9]We try to be something [F#m9]we are not
[Em7]But tonight we were s[F#m7]hown the truth
'Cause[Gmaj7] that's what elephants [F#/A#]do
Bm7 C#m7 (4x)
Oh, we're so mistaken
We [Bm7]cover the mess [C#m7]with small talk
And we [Bm7]can't even see it's our [C#m7]own heart that is breaking [Am9] [D9] [Gm9] [C9]
Breaking the rules [Bm7] [C#m7]
The [Bm7]elephants will come [C#m7]back
And they sure don't[Bm7] like to be ignor[C#m7]ed like they have been before [Am9] [D9] [Gm9] [C9]
Like a bunch of fools [Bm7] [C#m7]
[Em7]And it seems that we [F#m7]both forgot
[Em9]We try to be something [F#m9]we are not
[Em7]But if we can't [F#m7]live with the truth
The [Gmaj7]elephants cannot live [F#/A#]too
F#m7 Gmaj7 Em11 (4x)
And elephants die alone
PIANO INTERLUDE Bm7 C#m7 C#m7 Cm7 (3x) Bm7
[Em7]So let us start to re[F#m7]member
[Em7]All the things that we [F#m7]want to do
[Em7]We should just skip the [F#m7]food over candlelight
[Gmaj7]I know I want to crush all the [Bmaj7]tables with you
[C#m7]I want to dance just like e[G#m7]lephants do
[Gmaj7]I want to wreck everything
That I [Bmaj7]once held for a place that is [D7]home
[Gmaj7]Now I know that it's [A]you that is home
[Bm7] [C#m7]
