Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[G][G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Seems like only yesterday
I [Em]left my mind behind
[D]Down in the gypsy café
With a [Em]friend of a friend of mine
Who [D]sat with baby heavy on her [Am]knee
Yet [D]spoke of life most free from slaver[Am]y
With [D]eyes that showed no trace of miser[Am]y
A [D]phrase in connection first with [Am]she
[C]oc [D]curred
That love is just a four-letter [G]word[G][G][G]

[Verse 2]
Outside a [D]rambling store-front window
Cats [Em]meowed to the break of day
[D]Me, I kept my mouth shut
To you I [Em]had no words to say
My ex[D]perience was limited and under[Am]fed
[D]You were talking while [Am]I hid
To the [D]one who was the father of your [Am]kid
You [D]probably didn't think I [Am]did, but [C]I h[D]eard
You say, that love
is just a four-letter [G]word[G][G][G]

[Verse 3]
I [D]said goodbye unnoticed
Pushed forth [Em]into my own games
Drifting [D]in and out of lifetimes
Un[Em]mentionable by name
[D]Searching for my double, looking [Am]for
Com[D]plete evaporation to the [Am]core
Though I [D]tried and failed at finding any [Am]door
I [D]must have thought that
there was nothing [Am]more [C]ab [D]surd
Than that love is just a four-letter [G]word[G][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Though I [D]never knew just what you meant
When you were [Em]speaking to your man
I can [D]only think in terms of me
And [Em]now I understand
After [D]waking enough times to think I [Am]see
The holy [D]kiss
that's supposed to last eterni[Am]ty
Blow [D]up in smoke, its desti[Am]ny
[D]Falls on strangers, travels [Am]free
Yes, I [D]know now, traps are only set [Am]by me
And I [D]do not really need to [Am]be
[C]as [D]sured
That love is just a four-letter [G]word[G][G][G]

[Verse 5]
Strange it [D]is to be beside you
Many [Em]years the tables turned
You'd [D]probably not believe me
If I [Em]told you all I've learned
And [D]it is very, very weird in[Am]deed
To [D]hear words like forev[Am]er, fleets
Of [D]ships run through my mind, I cannot [Am]cheat
It's like [D]looking in the teacher's face com[Am]plete
I [D]can say nothing to you but re[Am]peat
what [C]I h[D]eard
That love is just a four-letter [G]word[G][G][G]
[G]
