G                       D  
Baby we can talk all night,  
C                          G                          
But that ain't gettin us nowhere,  
G          D            Em                  
I told you everything I possibly can,  
C                       D   
There's nothing left inside of here,  
 
 
 
(verse 2)  
G                 D     
And maybe you can cry all night,  
C                            G  
But that'll never change the way I feel,  
G           D             Em  
The snow is really piling up outside,  
  C                               D  
I wish you wouldn't make me leave here,  
 
 
 
BRIDGE:   
C                  D G             
I poured it on and I poured it out,  
C                   D        G  
I tried to show you just how much I care,  
C                      D       G         Em 
I'm tired of words and I'm too hoarse to shout,  
F  
But you've been cold to me so long,  
           C                 D  
I'm crying icicles instead of tears,  
C             D      C         D   
And all I can do, is keep on telling you  
  G           Em   
I want you, I need you,  
      C         D       Bm        Em  
There ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you , 
    C             C     Em Am      
Now don't be sad, don't be sad cause

(bridge) 
       C                    D    G            
You'll never find your gold on a sandy beach,  
       C                   D    G              
You'll never drill for oil on a city street,  
              C                  D    G            
I know you're looking for a ruby in a mountain of rocks,  
          F 
But there ain't no Coup de Ville,  
                          C           D       
Hiding at the bottom of a CrackerJack box,

I cannot tell you that I'm something I'm not,  
C                    Bm 
No matter how I try, I'll never be able,  
Bm  
To give you something,  
C                             D  
Something that I just haven't got,  
 
 
(verse 3) 
There's only one girl that I will ever love,  
And that was so many years ago,  
And though I know I'll never get her out of my heart,  
She never loved me back,  
 
 
(verse 4)  
I remember how she left me on a stormy night,  
She kissed me and got out of our bed,  
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door,  
She packed her bags and turned right away,  
 
 
(bridge) 
C               D  
And she kept on telling me,  
C           D  
She kept on telling me,

She kept on telling me,  
  G           Em
