Talking To Her

Eb Gm Eb Gm Eb C7 F F

[Verse 1]
Bb                                                    Gm
He, should've kissed her on the elevator ride to that rooftop bar
        Eb                  Gm
But his mind takes over his instincts
        Eb                   Gm
He’s convincing but not persistent
                 C7
And it keeps him apart

Bb                                                 Gm
He, should’ve told her he loved her from the very start
    Eb                       Gm
But others have showed him resistance
     Eb                   Gm
They tore his heart in an instant
                     C7
He has more than one scar


[Chorus]
    F
And maybe he should
Eb
Live like someone else
    Gm
Act like he's not himself
      C7
Build courage and pretend that he's
F
Not afraid that
Eb                    Gm
Anything he does, and anything he says
C7
Puts him to the test
    F
Can keep him from at least
           Bb
Talking to her


[Verse 2]
Bb                                                 Gm
He, should’ve listened to Billy, he told it quite straight
       Eb                      Gm
But he couldn’t just tell her about it
     Eb                  Gm
Even though he wanted to shout it
                  C7
He was too damn afraid


[Chorus]
    F
And maybe he should
Eb
Live like someone else
    Gm
Act like he's not himself
      C7
Build courage and pretend that he's
F
Not afraid that
Eb                    Gm
Anything he does, and anything he says
C7
Puts him to the test
    F
Can keep him from at least
           Bb

[Bridge]
Ab
   Sometimes a fantasy
Eb
   Satisfies your every need
Gm
   Because in your mind
     C7
Love always succeeds
Ab
   And though Some might find it sad
Eb
   When a lover has it bad
Gm
   That’s when the artist
      C7
Comes through


[Chorus]
    F
But maybe he should
Eb
Live like someone else
    Gm
Act like he's not himself
      C7
Build courage and pretend that he's
F
Not afraid that
Eb                    Gm
Anything he does, and anything he says
C7
Puts him to the test
    F
Can keep him from at least
