Emaj7 C/D Gmaj9 A/B

[Verse]
Emaj7        C/D                       Gmaj9
Love, it was meant to be played by the rules
           A/B                         Emaj9
Guess that I'm just like all the other fools
          C/D
'Cause if you said the words
        Gmaj9                A/B
I would make believe they're true

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B        Emaj7 C/D Gmaj9 A/B
Even though they may be only words

[Verse]
Emaj9        C/D                        Gmaj9
Lies, girl I can't hear enough of those lies
      A/B                       Emaj9
So if love's only meant for the wise
         C/D
One more lie for a fool
Gmaj9                    A/B
Shouldn't matter much to you, oh no
Emaj9              C/D
Though it may seem incomplete
Gmaj9               A/B
I'll pretend not to know it
Emaj9         C/D
Maybe love is obsolete
           Gmaj9
There's no one who will see
        A/B
Keep on lying to me

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B
Even though they may be only words
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7              B C#m  F#m7 E/G#
Even though they may be only words

[Interlude]
C#m7 C#m7/B F#/A# A  D#dim

Emaj7 C/D Gmaj9 A/B
Emaj7 C/D Gmaj9 A/B

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B
Even though they may be only words
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B
Even though they may be only words

[Chorus]
Amaj7
Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B
Even though they may be only words

Darlin' say the words I want to hear

Say the words and I won't mind
 Amaj7/G#  F#m7         A/B
Even though they may be only words

I don't mind
