Say the magic words

I won't say the magic words to please You

    Eb               Eb    Bb
Why can't we deal in spirit

    Cm       Cm/Bb    Cm/Ab
Not empty words and phrases

           Gm
That we've learned to recognize

            Ab  Gm    Fm7
But barely un - der - stand

  Eb/Bb        Eb/Bb   Bb
Designed to reassure us

        Cm        Cm/Bb    Cm/Ab
That if words are in their places

         Gm
Than our hearts must be there too

               Ab   Gm    Fm7
We really must un - der - stand
