Tuning: Standard
Here's the chord version of this song.
INTRO: DEm7F#m7Em7DEm7F#m7A
VERSE 1:
DEm7
With the sweet drip of every raindrop
F#m7Em7
Time brings you closer to me
DEm7
And with each new sign at every train-stop
F#m7Em7DEm7F#m7A
Another hour without you is consigned to history
DEm7
And with each tick of my alarm clock
F#m7Em7
I get crazy for the days to get to you
DEm7
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
F#m7Em7
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
PD-C HORUS:
GEm7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight
GAD/AA7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
DGD
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
AA7D
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
INTRO
VERSE 2:
DEm7
So this morning I picked up the paper
F#m7Em7
In the useless descent of the rain
DEm7
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
F#m7Em7
Lie and cheat just the same
DEm7
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
F#m7Em7
Love can’t save you now
DEm7
As each little motion of my writswatch
F#m7Em7
Holds up my faith somehow
PD-C HORUS:
GEm7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight
GAD/AA7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
DGD
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
GEm7
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
AGADA
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
BRIDGE:
GD
When I’ve used up all my patience
GD
When your letters have been read twenty times through
F#m7G
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
Em7A
But it ain’t no replacement, it ain’t no replacement for
DF#m7Bm7AEm7GADA7
you.................
CHORUS:
DGD
'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
A
To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say)
ADD
You know I only have to say your name....ooooh
