A 
Big old moon and a sweet, starry night 
                D     
Think I'll go out walkin' 
A 
Wish I could change the way you're feelin' tonight 
Em           G         A 
But I'm just tired of talkin' 

A 
You're still givin' me that same old line 
                        D 
Like a bird that keeps on squawkin' 
A 
Sometimes I wonder what goes on in your mind 
Em        G       A 
I'm just tired of talkin' 

D             A          D      A 
Now little by little and bit by bit 
Em               G 
The truth is slowly dawnin' 
D            A       D                A 
I love you honey but you just won't quit 
Em          G 
Let's leave it til the mornin' 

A 
You lay the bait and I get caught in your trap 
                   D 
I'm the game you're stalkin' 
A 
Let's say good night and just leave it like that 
Em      G          A 
I'm so tired of talkin', yes I am 


Solo: | A D A Em G A | 2x 

D             A          D      A 
Now little by little and bit by bit 
Em               G 
The truth is slowly dawnin' 
D           A              D            A 
We've got a puzzle but the pieces don't fit 
Em             G 
Let's leave it til the mornin' 

A   
Same old blues at the end of the night 
                        D 
But you've got to keep on rockin' 
A 
Turn up the music and turn out the light 
Em       G       A 
I'm so tired of talkin', yeah, yeah, yeah
