Chords with lyrics
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC
Talk is cheap, and I should know
FF C majorC FF G+G
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm C majorC
People mean well, but still make a mess
FF C majorC FF G+G C majorC
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath
C majorC FF
Lately I'm losing my appetite
C majorC FF
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites
C majorC
Who just talk
FF C majorC
And this is what we do, we just talk
C majorC FF
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine
C majorC FF
Or rehash what the television shows all mean
C majorC
It's just talk
FF C majorC
And this is what we do, we just talk
FF
Some people don't know how they really feel
C majorC
Some people won't talk about what is real
FF A minorAm
And I could never chitchat all day long
FF
Some people just look for an open ear
C majorC
Some people don't care what you want to hear
D MajorD G+G
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along
C majorC E MajorE FF
I'll go by what you do
G+G C majorC
Cause talk is cheap
E MajorE FF
And I don't want to wait for you
G+G A minorAm
Cause talk is cheap
DmDm A minorAm
I don't know how you spend your time
DmDm C majorC
But I'm done wasting all of mine
G+G C majorC G+G B-B-C
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
FF
Some people, some people, some people
A minorAm
Think action is overdue
FF
Some people, some people, some people
A minorAm G+G
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
