Words

G
Well the first time that I saw her
C                             G
Standing in the middle of the road
C                 G
Eyes as bright as Christmas lights
G                        D
Wearing someone else’s clothes
G
I did my best to ignore her
    C                       G
But Ignoring my best pretty soon
C                   G
Spent the night all tangled tight
       D             C             G
In an armchair in my friends front room.


[Chorus]
       C                 D                       G
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.
            Bb                    C                   G     G/F#
Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away.
G                    Bm                    C                      Cm
I fell weak, as she kissed my cheek, and sighed when I heard her say
       Em          D            C         D            G
Never knew I could get my heart broken, in less than a day.


[Verse 2]
G
Oh and the next time that I saw her,
C                        G
Must have been a year or more.
C                 G
Face stained with mascara
G                    D
Shivering outside my door
G
I did my best to assure her,
     C                      G
But assurance ain’t easy to give
C                         G
You've never been sure of anything much
D                   C          G
You get less so the longer you live


[Chorus 2]
       C                 D                       G
I said darling you know, darling you know I cant stay.
            Bb                    C                   G     G/F#
Cause I’ve given my heart and my word to a girl far away.
G                   Bm
I spoke soft, pretended to cough
C                       Cm
Inside when I heard her say.
Em                   D            C         D      G
Never knew I could get my heart broken in so many ways
C C   G  G  C C  G G
Ooooh ohhhh ohhh ohh


[Verse 3]
G
Well the last time that I saw her
C                       G
Standing in the pouring rain
C                    G
Hair looked a little shorter
G                         D
Everything else looked the same
G
I coulda told her that I adored her
 C                            G
She coulda said she felt the same way
C                      G              D            C            Em
We just smiled cause sometimes words aren’t the right words to say
C                      G              D            C            G
We just smiled cause sometimes words aren’t the right words to say
