Am             F           C             G
  You say come over, let’s have a little chat
Am           F       C                   G
  And I say “Okay, I guess I’m fine with that”
Am                 F        C          G
  But as we get to talking, I could go insane
                Am             F            C               G
  You just kept speakin’ those words and it started to hurt my brain

Am                 F         C               G
One word after the other, no space for me to say
Am              F               C            G
"Sorry but I’ve got to go we’ll talk another day"
Am                  F               C                   G
Sitting there still tryin’ to smile but it seems impossible
Am                F              C
'Cause honestly I was getting

G        Am            F
Tired of words, words, words
C                 G
Don’t want ‘em anymore
Am            F
Words, words, words
            C              G
How could I deal with them before?
     Am                 F                C             G
It’s like they’ve taken over and there’s nowhere I can hide
     Am                        F               C           G
What good do they bring? Never fixed anything
Am                F                  C
So as you can see that’s why I’m not speaking

Am           F            C         G
Everywhere I go words are coming at me
Am              F     C        G
From on the radio and on the T.V.
Am             F               C                 G
People stop to say “Hello” but that isn’t what I need
Am          F                C        G
What I want from these words is to be free


Am                 F         C               G
One word after the other, no space for me to say
Am                F               C               G
"I have to go and get some space, I’ve got to get away"
Am            F           C             G
Sitting there impatiently trying not to cry
Am                F          C
'Cause honestly I was getting

G        Am            F

So as you can see that’s why I’m not speaking

Am           F        C         G
  What’s the point of narrating life
Am           F               C                  G
  'Cause you know that words will only hurt you inside
Am              F            C              G
  You make your promises and then you break them
Am            F               C                   G
  Who says forgiveness can be written down with a pen
Am            F        C             G
  I hold your hand and try to let it go
Am              F             C                 G
But you keep on bringing back feelings and they show
Am                 F            C            G
  Your light keeps dimming everything around
Am                  F             C        G
  And the words I’m feeling, they can’t be found
Am     F           C          G
  To explain how I feel right now

Am            F
Words, words, words
C                 G
Don’t want ‘em anymore
