Intro: Am C G D   (7x) 

Am      C 
 Oh so, your weak rhyme  
    G                 D 
You doubt I'll bother reading into it 
     Am 
I'll probably wont 
     C 
Left to my own devices 
    G                     D 
But that's the difference in our opinions 

Am 
 You're a mouthful 
C                 G                  D 
 That amounts for another week on my own 
  Am            C 
Now I'm a novel made resourceful 
 G                      D 
I start a chain with my thought 

Am      Am        C 
Talk is cheap, my darling 
            G                D 
When you're feeling right at home 
        Am                 C 
I wanna make you move with confidence 
        G            D 
I wanna be with you alone 

     Am               C 
Said help me help you start it 
          G               D 
You're too comfortable to know 
Am                 C 
Throwing out those words 
            G                 D 
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own 

Am C G D (2x) 

Am 
 Cold pain  
  C 
I cannot sustain it 
G 
  That's what I'm thinking 
D 
  Not what I'm drinking 

  Am 
I hold up my ways 
      C 
These thoughts are pervasive  
G 
  It's not a statement 
D 
But peace can be evasive 

Am 
 You're a mouthful 
C                 G                  D 
 That amounts for another week on my own 
  Am            C 
Now I'm a novel made resourceful 
 G                      D 
I start a chain with my thought 


Am      Am        C 
Talk is cheap, my darling 
            G                D 
When you're feeling right at home 
        Am                 C 
I wanna make you move with confidence 
        G            D 
I wanna be with you alone 

     Am               C 
Said help me help you start it 
          G               D 
You're too comfortable to know 
Am                 C 
Throwing out those words 
              G               D 
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own 


Am      Am        C 
Talk is cheap, my darling 
(Talk is cheap, my darling) 
            G                D 
When you're feeling right at home 
            (When you're feeling right at home) 
        Am                 C 
I wanna make you move with confidence 
        (I wanna make you move with confidence) 
        G            D 
I wanna be with you alone 
               (I wanna be with you alone) 

     Am               C 
Said help me help you start it 
             (help you start it) 
          G               D 
You're too comfortable to know 
                      (You're too comfortable to know) 
Am                 C 
Throwing out those words 
            G                 D 
Oh, you gotta feel it on your own 
              (feel it on your own)
