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
