G   Am           C   D       G        Am
And yes I believe in what we had

But words got in the way
                    Am
And only yesterday

Pale beside a single kiss

And I've heard so many things I

Fail to understand at all

Unknown footsteps in the hall outside

Names are just for souvenirs
Bb
Some kind of angel let me
A
Look into your eyes
Dm
Don't give me whys and wherefores
C                   Bb
Reason or surprise
                                    A      Dm
I don't care for words that don't belong

And I don't care what you're called

Tell me later if at all

I can wait a long long time

Before I hear another love song
