Tabbed by: Jay Mattis

Tuning: Standard



A       C#m  F#m            A
Talk is cheap, and I should know

D            A           D              E
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close

A           C#m  F#m               A
People mean well, but still make a mess

D               A         D              E
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath



A                    D
Lately I'm losing my appetite

            A                          D
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites

         A
Who just talk

    D                           A       D
And this is what we do, we just talk

A                           D
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine

     A                        D
Or rehash what the television shows all mean

          A
It's just talk

    D                           A       D
And this is what we do, we just talk



D
Some people don't know how they really feel

A
Some people won't talk about what is real

D                                  F#m
And I could never chitchat all day long

D
Some people just look for an open ear

A                                       B                                       
Some people don't care what you want to hear

                                      E
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along



A    C#              D
I'll go by what you do

       E       A
Cause talk is cheap

      C#                      D
And I don't want to wait for you

      E    Fm F#m
Cause talk is cheap

             Bm                 F#m
I don't know how you spend your time

             Bm             D
But I'm done wasting all of mine

      E       A
Cause talk is cheap



D A G Ab



A                   D
Lately I'm tired of politics

    A                            D
And listening to the neverending arguments

          A
That just stall

    D                           A        D
And this is what we do, we just stall

A                     D
Never know someone to change their mind

        A                      D
After a heated debate over the moral lines

        A
We just crossed

    D                           A        D
But this is what we do, we just talk



D
Some people get cute and they draw the line

A
Some people won't choose over left and right

D                                  F#m
And I could never stomach all that greed

D
Some people don't care enough

A                             B
Some people get scared enough

                                             E
To get talked into something that they think they should believe



A    C#              D
I'll go by what you do

       E       A
Cause talk is cheap

      C#                      D
And I don't want to wait for you

      E    Fm F#m
Cause talk is cheap

             Bm                 F#m
I don't know how you spend your time

             Bm             D
But I'm done wasting all of mine

      E       A
Cause talk is cheap



D A G Ab



D
Some people, some people, some people
      F#m
Think action is overdue
D
Some people, some people, some people
      E
Can't wait, we've got work to do



A      C#                 D
I only speak of what I've done

       E       A
Cause talk is cheap

              C#              D
And if you're listening, everyone

        E
But you talk when you're talking to me



A    C#              D
I'll go by what you do

       E       A
Cause talk is cheap

      C#                      D
And I don't want to wait for you

      E    Fm F#m
Cause talk is cheap

             Bm                 F#m
I don't know how you spend your time

             Bm             D
But I'm done wasting all of mine

      E       A
Cause talk is cheap
