Intro:  (D)  (G)  (A)  (D)  play twice 
 
We (D) ordered up (G) one more (A) bottle of (D) wine

So I (D) asked you to (G) take me (A) some place (D) quiet 
We wound up at the (G) river for the (A) rest of the (D) night 
Somewhere a(G)round the (A) break of (D) day 
I could hear it (G) coming from a (A) mile aw(D)ay 
 
So (G) don't say that (D) word 
Not the (G) one we both (D) heard (A) too much 
You (G) may think you (D) do but you (Em) don't 
It's just the (A) fear of being al(D)one

Wider than a (G) hurricane's (A) after(D)math

You (G) may think you (D) do but you (Em) don't 
It's just the (A) fear of being al(D)one

With (Bm) no one to (A) hold you 
And tell you (Em) everthing's gonna (A) be all right 
 
I (D) must ad(G)mit (A) it's been (D) fun  
But that's no (G) reason to (A) jump the (D) gun 
If this is (G) real (A) time will (D) tell 
So let me (No Chord) bite my tongue and remind myself 
 
(G) Don't say that (D) word
