C
I'd be writing all day, if it weren't for the words
         Fmaj7                   C
I'd find something to say, if it weren't for the words
         C
It's the words that give me trouble
       Fmaj7                         C
I'd be alright, if it weren't for the words

[Verse 2]
        C
I could pick up the phone, if it weren't for the words
        Fmaj7                    C
I could talk all day long, if it weren't for the words
         C
It's the words that make me stumble
              Fmaj7                         C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words

[Chorus]
    BbMaj        F
But I've got nothing
  Fmaj7                       C
Stuck without a thought in my head
  Dm                            F
Drumming my fingers against the table
 G
Tapping on my cigarette

[Verse 3]
               C
You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
   Fmaj7              C
Or say goodbye, if it weren't for the words
         C
It's the words that always hurt me
             Fmaj7                          C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words

[Chorus]
    BbMaj        F
But I've got nothing
 Fmaj7                      C
Haven't got a thought in my head
 Dm                        F
Drumming my fingers on the table
 G
Tapping on my cigarette

[Verse 5]
               C
You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
   Fmaj7                     C
Or sing a sad goodbye, if it weren't for the words
         C
It's the words that come to nothing
             Fmaj7                          C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
       Fmaj7                          C
I'd be alright, if it weren't for the words
       F                                C
I'd be just fine, if it weren't for the words
