[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
D Seems like only yesterday Em I left my mind behind D Down in the Gypsy Cafe Em With a friend of a friend of mine D Am She sat with a baby heavy on her knee D Am Yet spoke of life most free from slavery D Am With eyes that showed no trace of misery D Am A phrase in connection first with she C D I heard D7 G That love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 2]
D Outside a rambling store-front window Em Cats meowed to the break of day D Me, I kept my mouth shut, too Em To you I had no words to say D Am My experience was limited and underfed D Am You were talking while I hid D Am To the one who was the father of your kid D Am C D You probably didn't think I did, but I heard G You say that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 3]
D I said goodbye unnoticed Em Pushed towards things in my own games D Drifting in and out of lifetimes Em Unmentionable by name D Am Searching for my double, looking for D Am Complete evaporation to the core D Am Though I tried and failed at finding any door D Am I must have thought that there was nothing more C D G Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 4]
D Though I never knew just what you meant Em When you were speaking to your man D I can only think in terms of me Em And now I understand D Am After waking enough times to think I see D Am The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity D Am Blow up in smoke, its destiny D Am Falls on strangers, travels free D Am Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me D Am And I do not really need to be C D G Assured that love is just a four-letter word
[Verse 5]
D Strange it is to be beside you Em Many years and tables turned D You'd probably not believe me Em If I told you all I've learned D Am And it is very, very weird indeed D Am To hear words like forever plead D Am Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat D Am It's like looking in the teacher's face complete D Am C D I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard G That love is just a four-letter word
