         D                   Em7
With the sweet drip of every raindrop

F#m7                      Em7
Time brings you closer to me

         D                      Em7
And with each new sign at every train-stop

 F#m7                          Em7           D    Em7  F#m7   A    
Another hour without you is consigned to history

         D                 Em7
And with each tick of my alarm clock

      F#m7                         Em7
I get crazy for the days to get to you

           D                         Em7
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you

           F#m7                    Em7
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
PRE-CHORUS:
       G                               Em7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight

       G                               A  D/A  A7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
          D                G                D
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name

           G                      
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

    Em7                        G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do

   A                                A7                    D   
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
INTRO VERSE 2:
        D                       Em7        
So this morning I picked up the paper

       F#m7                   Em7
In the useless descent of the rain

      D                          Em7
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over

F#m7                   Em7
Lie and cheat just the same

        D                  Em7
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed

F#m7                Em7
Love can’t save you now

        D                   Em7
As each little motion of my writswatch

F#m7              Em7
Holds up my faith somehow
PRE-CHORUS:
       G                               Em7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight

       G                               A  D/A  A7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
          D                G                D
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name

           G                      Em7
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

    Em7                        G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do

   A                                G                     A    D  A
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
BRIDGE:
          G              D
When I’ve used up all my patience

          G                                   D
When your letters have been read twenty times through

      F#m7                       G
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine

       Em7                      A                        
But it ain’t no replacement, it ain’t no replacement for 

D  F#m7  Bm7  A  Em7  G  A  D  A7
you.................
CHORUS:
             D                        G        D
'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name

           G                      
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same

    Em7                        G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do

   A                                
To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say)

                        A        D      D     
You know I only have to say your name....ooooh
