I don't sing twice, so listen!
I don't sing [Fm] twice
I leave it in the [Cm] air
If you miss the [Bbm] moment
It won't be [C7] there …
[Fm][Cm]-[Bbm][C7]
Smoke in the [Fm] room velvet and gold
Stories are [Cm] written before they're told
Nobody [Bbm] moves but something shifts
When [Fm] silence starts giving gifts
I don't chase [Fm] eyes I don't demand
I let the [Cm] moment understand
There's something [Bbm] fragile in what I do
It only lives if [Fm] it reaches you
You don't [C#] know when it starts
But you [C7] feel when it's gone
I don't sing [Fm] twice, I don't repeat the [Cm] truth
Every [Bbm] note I give away was meant for [Fm] you [Cm]
Don't stay long e-[Fm] nough for doubt to inter-[Cm] fere
If you felt it [Bbm] once... [Cm] you were meant to be [Fm] here
[Fm] Lights don't matter, time stands still
[Cm] Some things happen against your will
Not [Bbm] everything is made to last
Some [Cm] songs belong to the past
You can't re-[Fm] wind what you ignore
That's [Cm] not what music's for
It's not a [Bbm] loop it's not a game
You either catch it [Fm] or miss the flame
You don't [C#] hold it, it [Cm] holds you
I don't sing [Fm] twice, I don't repeat the [Cm] truth
Every [Bbm] note I give away was meant for [Fm] you [C7]
I don't stay long e-[Fm] nough for doubt to inter-[Cm] fere
If you felt it [Bbm] once... [Cm] you were meant to be [Fm] here
[Bbm] You don't get a second chance [Fm] With something real
[C#] That's what makes it matter [C7]
I don't sing [Fm] twice, I leave it in your skin
If you let it pass you [Bbm] by... it won't come back a-[Fm] gain [C7]
I don't stay for-[Fm] ever, I don't ex-[Cm] plain why
[Bbm] I just sing it once, [C7] Then I say good-[Fm] bye
