Intro: E B F# B 

B                                       E  
That's all it took for mention of your name 
            F#                       B 
And all my love for you burst into flame 
                                     E 
I've tried so hard to let you go by look 
              F#                                B 
How I still tremble at your name that's all it took 

 F#                            E                 B  
That's all it took to make me know that I still care 
     F#                                    E                B 
It seems my heart just can't give up the dreams we used to share 
                                                     E 
I tell my friends I'm happy but they read me like a book 
                   B                  F#                 B 
And when today I heard them say your name that's all it took 

Instrumental 
B E B F# B 

F#                              E              B 
That's all it took to make me yearn to your embrace 
   F#                              E                 B 
I guess I might as well admit, no one can take your place 
                                             E  
I fell for you completely, sinker, line and hook 
                   B                  F#                 B  
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took 

     E             B                  F#                 B 
For when today I heard them say your name that's all it took
