Words

 
              
 
 
F 
 I could tell you that I loved you from the start 
Am 
 I could tell you that I cut you out of stars 
    Dm 
 Like you're the flame and I'm a cigarette 
    Bb 
 Like Clyde and Bonnie, Romeo and Juliette 
 
    F 
 And we could be a modern Bogart and Bacall 
Am 
 Baby ours could be the greatest love of all 
Dm 
 I could say that I would never criticize you 
Bb 
 Never lie when I am looking in your eyes 
 
      Dm 
 But that is only words and words and words 
       Bb 
 Yeah that is only words and words and words 
  F                                              C 
 Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way 
 
 
      F                             Cm 
 And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless 
                   Bb 
 I can feel it in each kiss 
           C                              F 
 And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords 
                    Cm 
 So I hope you can feel it 
                      Bb 
 Cause I couldn't conceal it 
            C 
 When it's bigger than bigger than words 
 
 
F 
 I could tell you that I want to be a wife 
Am 
 I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life 
Dm 
 It's beautiful but compared to how I love ya 
Bb 
 It's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough 
 
      Dm 
 But that is only words and words and words 
       Bb 
 Yeah that is only words and words and words 
  F                                              C 
 Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way 
 
 
      F                             Cm 
 And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless 
                   Bb 
 I can feel it in each kiss 
           C                              F 
 And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords 
                    Cm 
 So I hope you can feel it 
                      Bb 
 Cause I couldn't conceal it 
            C 
 When it's bigger than bigger than words 
 
 
Dm                Bb 
 And words can't feel 
                    F 
 And words don't breathe 
                  C                         Dm 
 And words can't tell you what you mean to me 
                    Bb           F 
 Those three small words are overused 
                 C 
 So "more than words" means more than "I love you" 
 
F 
 If you're savvy you'll know what I'm trying to say 
       Am 
 When I say "I'll settle for 'I love you' anyway" 
Dm 
 I could tell you that I cut you out of stars 
   Bb 
 But it's just a ghost of what I'm feeling in my heart 
 
      Dm 
 And that is only words 
  Bb 
 That is only words 
  F                                              C 
 Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way 
 
 
      F                             Cm 
 And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless 
                   Bb 
 I can feel it in each kiss 
           C                              F 
 And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords 
                    Cm 
 So I hope you can feel it 
                      Bb 
 Cause I couldn't conceal it 
            C                       F 
 When it's bigger than bigger than words
