Am    G     F 
Oh I feel overjoyed 
Am        G        F   C 
When you listen to my words 
Am   G     F 
I see them sinking in 
Am    G                     F           C 
Oh I see them crawling underneath your skin 
 
G              Am 
Words are all we have 
        F 
We'll be talking 
        C 
We'll be talking 
   G       Am 
These words are all we have 
       F 
We'll be talking 
 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
 
Am    G     F 
You lean towards despair 
Am        G        F   C 
Any given opportunity you're there 
Am    G     F 
But what is there to gain? 
Am    G                     F           C 
When you're always falling off the fence that way. 
 
G              Am 
Words are all we have 
        F 
We'll be talking 
        C 
We'll be talking 
   G       Am 
These words are all we have 
       F 
We'll be talking 
 
 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
 
Ooooooh 
 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
       F                      Am      C     G 
And I hear you calling in the dead of night 
 
Ooooooh 
 
Am  G     F 
Oh I feel overjoyed 
Am        G            F    C 
When you listen to my words
