D	      D7+ 
  Don't talk, 	 I will listen 
D	      D7+ 
  Don't talk, 	 you keep your distance 
 
          G		    D		       Em		  D 
 for I'd rather hear some truth tonight - than... entertain your lies 
G		      D	          Em				  A   A4 
 (so) take you poison silently my... let me be... Let me close my eyes

D	      D7+ 
  Don't talk, 	  listen to me instead 
 
    G		     D		      Em	       D 
I know that if you think of it, both long enough and hard 
              G		           D	          Em			          A    A4 
There?s the drink you drown your troubles in that... is the trouble... you're... in now 
 
	  Em	      D	        A 
Then you talk, talk, talk about it 
        Em      D      A 
If you talk as if you care 
     Em	       D      A 
But when your talk is over 
	       D	     G  D 
You tilt that bottle in the air 
	  G		   A	     A4 
Tossing back... more than your share 
 
D	      D7+ 
  Don't talk, 	  I can guess it

  Don't talk, 	  well now your restless

And you need somewhere... to put - the ? blame... for how you feel inside 
        G			D	     Em		   	       A       A4 
You'll look for a close and... easy mark and you'll see me... as your fair game 
 
	  Em	       D	A 
Then you talk, talk, talk about it 
        Em      D      A 
If you talk as if you care 
     Em	        D     A 
But when your talk is over 
	       D	     G  D 
You tilt that bottle in the air 
	  G		   A	     A4 
Tossing back... more than your share 
 
     Em	          D	   A 
You talk, talk, talk about it 
 Em      D      A 
Talk as if you care 
     Em     D	    A 
I'm marking every word 
         D			   G   D 
If I can... tell... this time for sure 
                 G	      A 
Your talk is the finest... I have heard 
 
D		 D7+ 
  So don?t talk,     I?m sleeping 
D		 D7+ 
  So don't talk,     let me go on dreaming 
 
         G		    D		      Em	   D 
How your eyes they glow so fiercely... I can tell your inspired 
        G		 D		  Em			     A     A4 
by the name... you just chose for me, now... what was it? Oh, never mind it 
 
         Em	     D	        A 
We will talk, talk, talk about this 
 Em	  D	      A 
When your... head is clear 
              Em        D      A 
It?s I'll discuss this in the morning 
        D	  G  D 
But... until then 
               G	    A 
Then you may talk but I... won't hear
