[Verse 1]
Am                                    Em
Don't go sending me those three dozen roses
Am                                     Em
Don't you know that just one rose will do
Am                                    Em
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
B7
Don't you know that I'm making money too


[Verse 2]
Am                                        Em
Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
Am                                       Em
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
       Am                           Em
'Cause if you do then when we get together
        B7
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                             Em
Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder
Am                                       Em
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
    Am                                          Em
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
     B7
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right


[Chorus]
        Am
Less is more
                                 Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
                                    Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
    Em
See we don't wanna go out like that
        Am
Less is more
                                     Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
                            B7
If you want me to still be around, remember


[Verse 3]
Am                             Em
If you wanna be showing your affection
Am                                Em
Don't you know a simple kiss will do
Am                                  Em
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
        B7
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through


[Pre-Chorus]
Am                                                    Em
Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder
Am                                       Em
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
    Am                                          Em
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
     B7
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right


[Chorus]
        Am
Less is more
                                 Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
                                    Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
    Em
See we don't wanna go out like that
        Am
Less is more
                                     Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
                            B7
If you want me to still be around, remember


[Bridge]
Am                                            Em
It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Am                                                 Em
Too much for taking, it's driving me crazy, that's all you do
   Am                                          Em
It needs rearranging, it's so suffocating that I can't move
               B7
You gotta take two steps back, believe what they say; it's true


[Chorus]
        Am
Less is more
                                 Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
                                    Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
      Em
Be so bad
        Am
Less is more
                                     Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
                            B7               Am
If you want me to still be around, remember


[Outro]
                           Em
Gimme a chance to miss you
                               Am
Boy, I don't mean to diss you, but
                                           Em
I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day
    Am                             Em
You know, baby you crowding me out
                          B7
Haven't you heard less is more
        Am
Less is more
             Em
Listen to me boy
        Am
Less is more
Em
