Intro:
Dm C 

Whispered:
Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.

Dm         C
Please, please forgive me,
Dm      C        B      Dm
 But I won't be home again.
      C      

Maybe someday you'll look up,
Dm              C
And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:
B      A
"Isn't something missing?"

Dm C) 

You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?

B     A
Isn't something missing?
B     A
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm C B A) 

Even though I'd be sacrificed,
You won't try for me, not now.
Though I'd die to know you love me,
I'm all alone.

B     A
Isn't someone missing me?

Dm C

Dm         C
Please, please forgive me,
Dm     C         B      Dm
But I won't be home again.
       C
I know what you do to yourself,
Dm       C
 Shudder deep and cry out:
B      A
"Isn't something missing?
B      A
Isn't someone missing me?"

(Dm C)
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?

B     A
Isn't something missing?
B     A
Isn't someone missing me?

(Dm C B A)
And if I bleed, I'll bleed,
Knowing you don't care.
And if I sleep just to dream of you
And wake without you there,
B     A
Isn't something missing?
B     A
Isn't something...

(Dm C)
You won't cry for my absence, I know -
You forgot me long ago.
Am I that unimportant...?
Am I so insignificant...?

B     A
Isn't something missing?
B     A
Isn't someone missing me?

Whispered:
Can you stop the fire?
Can you stand to fight her?
You cant stop the fire,
you wont say the words.
