Tell me a piece of your history
G C
that you're proud to call your own
C
Speak in words you picked up
G C
as you walked through life alone.

my dear, my dear, oh dear.
C G D
It is not enough to be dumbstruck;
(Can you fill the silence?)
C G Em B

C
and before it seeps into my ears,
G C

If you give it a name, then it's already won.

What you good for, what you good for?
