==VERSE 1==

F7                 Bb7   F7           Bb7
Could you want me,       do you care?

F7                   Bb7  F7                                 Bb7
Is it my imagination,        or is the feeling really there?

Bb7               Bb74  Bb7         Bb74
Could you need me,         is it true?

F7                           Bb7  F7                        Bb7
I know it's love I'm feeling,     but I don't know bout you


==CHORUS 1==

          F7             Bb7          Eb7     Ab7
All those words that you say, do they mean anything

         C#7    C7
Or is it just...  what I wanna hear?


==VERSE 2==

F7                Bb7  F7            Bb7
Should I tell you,     or let it go?

F7                          Bb7  F7                      Bb7
It's keeping me on the edge,     I'm waiting just to know

Bb7              Bb74  Bb7                 Bb74
I'm going crazy,          My body's shaking

F7                          Bb7  F7                         Bb7
I need a cure for this fever     to stop my head from aching


==REPEAT CHORUS 1==


==SOLO in F==

*Solo is over one progression of the verse and chorus each

*Schofield improvises in a variety of scales that fit in the key of F,
and gets a very bluesish/jazzy fusion... try to get this by combining
major and minor pentatonic licks, chromatic runs, and the Dorian mode

*Lots of legato... his tone is very smooth with plenty of slides,
hammer-ons and pull-offs

*Traverses the fretboard up and down very quickly, and often doesn't
stay in the same position for more than a couple of riffs... so try
soloing "diagonally"


==VERSE 3==

F7                Bb7  F7                Bb7
Maybe I'm missing      those hidden signs

F7                      Bb7  F7                       Bb7
So I look into your eyes     and try to read your mind

Bb7           Bb74  Bb7
If I told you          would you believe

F7                     Bb7  F7                    Bb7
And take away my misery,    make my dreams reality

==OUTRO CHORUS==

          F7             Bb7          Eb7     Ab7
All those words that you say,

          F7             Bb7          F       F7
All those words that you say,

          F7             Bb7          Eb7     Ab7
All those words that you say, do they mean anything

         C#7    C7
Or is it just...  what I wanna hear?
