[Intro] G Am C D x 2 G [Verse 1]
G   Am           C   D       G        Am
And yes I believe in what we had

              C      D      G
But words got in the way

                    Am
And only yesterday

   C     D       G
As I was leaving

                Am          C D
Lord knows I've tried to say  but I've

G
Heard a million conversations

Am                  C      D
Going where they've been before

G
Seen the way that careful lingers

Am        C      D
Undecided at the door
[Chorus 1]
Dm
And all I know for sure

C
All I know for real

Bb                         A        Dm
Is knowing doesn't mean so much

                        C
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
     Bb
When bodies meet

             A         C      D
When fingers touch
[Verse 2]
G
All my words are secondhand and

Am             C       D
Useless in the face of this

G
Rationale and rhyme and reason

Am            C      D
Pale beside a single kiss

G
And I've heard so many things I

Am            C       D
Fail to understand at all

G
I'd settle anytime for

Am                C      D       Dm
Unknown footsteps in the hall outside
C Bb A [Chorus 1]
Dm
And all I know for sure

C
All I know for real

Bb                         A        Dm
Is knowing doesn't mean so much

                        C
When placed against the feeling
The heat inside
     Bb
When bodies meet

             A         C      D
When fingers touch
G Am C D [Verse 3] G Am
  C         D        G    Am
Because the world is cruel and

     C       D       G
Promises are broken
Don't try to tell me
Am             C      D
Anything don't try to tell me

G
You'll be true to me you know the

Am            C     D
Real truth is never spoken
[Chorus 2]
Dm
  And I know the world is cold but

C
If you hold on tight to what you

Bb
Find you might not mind too much though

A
Even this must pass away and

Dm
Memories may last for years but

C
Names are just for souvenirs

Bb
Some kind of angel let me

A
Look into your eyes

Dm
Don't give me whys and wherefores

C                   Bb
Reason or surprise

                                    A      Dm
I don't care for words that don't belong
And I don't care what you're called
C                        Bb
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time
  A
Before I hear another love song
[Outro]

Some kind of stranger come inside
