C5        E5        A5         C5 
Talk is cheap, and I should know
F5              C5          F5             G5
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
C5           E5     A5             C5
People mean well, but still make a mess
F5               C5               F5          G5      C5
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath

C5                    F5
Lately I'm losing my appetite
            C5                          F5
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites
           C5
Who just talk
   F5                            C5
And this is what we do, we just talk
C5                           F5
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine
    C5                         F5
Or rehash what the television shows all mean
           C5
It's just talk
F5                               C5
And this is what we do, we just talk

F5
Some people don't know how they really feel
C5
Some people won't talk about what is real
F5                                  A5
And I could never chitchat all day long
F5
Some people just look for an open ear
C5
Some people don't care what you want to hear
                  D5                      G5
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along

C5    E5              F5
I'll go by what you do
       G5           C5
Cause talk is cheap
            E5                F5
And I don't want to wait for you
      G5        A5
Cause talk is cheap
         D5                      A5
I don't know how you spend your time
               D5                   C5
But I'm done wasting all of mine
G5      C5          G5       B5 - B5 - C5
Cause talk is cheap


Lately I'm tired of politics
And listening to the neverending arguments
That just stall
And this is what we do, we just stall
Never know someone to change their mind
After a heated debate over the moral lines
We just crossed
But this is what we do, we just talk


Some people get cute and they draw the line
Some people won't choose over left and right
And I could never stomach all that greed
Some people don't care enough
Some people get scared enough
To get talked into something that they think they should believe


I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap

F5
Some people, some people, some people
       A5
Think action is overdue
F5            
Some people, some people, some people
A5                   G5
Can't wait, we've got work to do

(same as chorus)
I only speak of what I've done

Cause talk is cheap

And if you're listening, everyone

But you talk when you're talking to me


I'll go by what to do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap


Enjoy !
