Intro:
G+G A minorAm C majorC D MajorD x 2
G+G

Verse 1:
G+G  A minorAm      C majorC  D MajorD    G+G    A minorAm
And yes I believe in what we had
       C majorC   D MajorD   G+G
But words got in the way
          A minorAm
And only yesterday
  C majorC   D MajorD    G+G
As I was leaving
        A minorAm     C majorC D MajorD
Lord knows I've tried to say but I've
G+G
Heard a million conversations
A minorAm         C majorC   D MajorD
Going where they've been before
G+G
Seen the way that careful lingers
A minorAm    C majorC   D MajorD
Undecided at the door

Chorus 1:
DmDm
And all I know for sure
C majorC
All I know for real
Bb majorBb             A augmentedA    DmDm
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
            C majorC
When placed against the feeling

The heat inside
   Bb majorBb
When bodies meet
       A augmentedA     C majorC   D MajorD
When fingers touch


Verse 2:
G+G
All my words are secondhand and
A minorAm       C majorC    D MajorD
Useless in the face of this
G+G
Rationale and rhyme and reason
A minorAm      C majorC   D MajorD
Pale beside a single kiss
G+G
And I've heard so many things I
A minorAm      C majorC    D MajorD
Fail to understand at all
G+G
I'd settle anytime for
A minorAm        C majorC   D MajorD    DmDm
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside

C majorC Bb majorBb A augmentedA

Chorus 1:
DmDm
And all I know for sure
C majorC
All I know for real
Bb majorBb             A augmentedA    DmDm
Is knowing doesn't mean so much
            C majorC
When placed against the feeling

The heat inside
   Bb majorBb
When bodies meet
       A augmentedA     C majorC   D MajorD
When fingers touch

G+G A minorAm C majorC D MajorD


Verse 3:
G+G A minorAm
 C majorC     D MajorD    G+G  A minorAm
Because the world is cruel and
   C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Promises are broken

Don't try to tell me
A minorAm       C majorC   D MajorD
Anything don't try to tell me
G+G
You'll be true to me you know the
A minorAm      C majorC   D MajorD
Real truth is never spoken


Chorus 2:
DmDm
 And I know the world is cold but
C majorC
If you hold on tight to what you
Bb majorBb
Find you might not mind too much though
A augmentedA
Even this must pass away and
DmDm
Memories may last for years but
C majorC
Names are just for souvenirs
Bb majorBb
Some kind of angel let me
A augmentedA
Look into your eyes
DmDm
Don't give me whys and wherefores
C majorC          Bb majorBb
Reason or surprise
                  A augmentedA   DmDm
I don't care for words that don't belong

And I don't care what you're called
C majorC            Bb majorBb
Tell me later if at all

I can wait a long long time
 A augmentedA
Before I hear another love song


Outro:

Come here I think you're beautiful
