You try so hard to be a mystery, a lady never shows her cards.
    C                    F              C                         G
The words you speak say you love me, but the tone of your voice says it's hard.
            Am                   F
Love me to pieces, you left me speechless.

But let's just say the more you share, beggin me to call your bluff.
              Am                     F
It's just six oclock, baby don't you stop.
               Am                          G

Lovin soothes our hearts, like slow heat in the dark.
Am                 F         Am                G
With an old song playing, that echoes just what I'm saying, babe
