INTRO:

 G... Cadd9... Am7... C... C.D. G...

 VERSE:

     G          Cadd9
      Saying I love you is
    
      Am7             C       D         G
      not the words I want to hear from you

     G                Cadd9
      It's not that I want you

      Am7            C      D    Em
      not to say but if you only knew

      Bm7   Am7
      Ho-ow ea-sy

      D              G      D/F#     Em
      It would be to show me how you feel

      Bm7       Am7       D7              G7
      More than words  is all you have to do 

      G7              C
      To make it real

      C         Cm              G
      Then you wouldn't have to say

                Em7
      That you love me 'cos

      Am7     D7     G
      I'd  already know

BRIDGE:

     G                 D/F#   Em        Bm      C
      What would you do if my heart was torn in two

     C                    G/B     Am7             D7                G
      More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real

    G                   D/F#  Em7        Bm7    C
      What would you say if I took those words away?

     C                     G/B      Am7
      Then you couldn't make things new

              D7             G
      Just by saying I love you

(Repeat intro x2)


VERSE 2


      Now that I've tried to 
      Talk to you and make you understand
      All that you have to do is
      Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
      And touch me
      Hold me close don't ever let me go
      More than words
      Is all I ever needed you to show
      Then you wouldn't have to say
      That you love me
      Cos I'd   All Ready Know

REPEAT BRIDGE AD LIB AND FADE

 Play with fingers and slightly off the beat to get the feel of the song. 
 If possible, mute the strings  between chords to get the percussive
"chunk" that Nuno gets on the album.

Play hard, Have fun
