C
I'd be writing all day, if it weren't for the words
Fmaj7 C
I'd find something to say, if it weren't for the words
C
It's the words that give me trouble
Fmaj7 C
I'd be alright, if it weren't for the words
[Verse 2]
C
I could pick up the phone, if it weren't for the words
Fmaj7 C
I could talk all day long, if it weren't for the words
C
It's the words that make me stumble
Fmaj7 C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
[Chorus]
BbMaj F
But I've got nothing
Fmaj7 C
Stuck without a thought in my head
Dm F
Drumming my fingers against the table
G
Tapping on my cigarette
[Verse 3]
C
You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
Fmaj7 C
Or say goodbye, if it weren't for the words
C
It's the words that always hurt me
Fmaj7 C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
[Chorus]
BbMaj F
But I've got nothing
Fmaj7 C
Haven't got a thought in my head
Dm F
Drumming my fingers on the table
G
Tapping on my cigarette
[Verse 5]
C
You could never tell a lie, if it weren't for the words
Fmaj7 C
Or sing a sad goodbye, if it weren't for the words
C
It's the words that come to nothing
Fmaj7 C
I'd be doing alright, if it weren't for the words
Fmaj7 C
I'd be alright, if it weren't for the words
F C
I'd be just fine, if it weren't for the words
