Am                                     Am/G
In a manner of speaking I just want to say
Am/G                          Am/F
That I could never forget the way
Am/F                               E      E7
You told me everything by saying nothing

Am                                    Am/G
In a manner of speaking I don't understand
Am/G                             Am/F
How love in silence becomes reprimand
Am/F                                 E            E7
But the way that i feel about you is beyond words

[Chorus]
Am              Am/G
Oh give me the words
Am/G         Am/F
Give me the words
Am/F         E     E7
But tell me nothing
Am                    Am/G
Ohohohoh give me the words
Am/G         Am/F
Give me the words
Am/F         E          E7
That tell me everything

[Verse]
Am                                      Am/G
In a manner of speaking semantics won't do
Am/G                                  Am/F
In this life that we live we only make do
Am/F                                      E         E7
And the way that we feel might have to be sacrified

Am                                        Am/G
So in a manner of speaking I just want to say
Am/G                               Am/F
That just like you I should find a way
Am/F                              E      E7
To tell you everything by saying nothing

[Chorus]
Am              Am/G
Oh give me the words    (In a manner of speaking I just want to say)
Am/G         Am/F
Give me the words     (That like you I should try and find a way)
Am/F          E     E7
But tell me nothing     (To tell you everything by saying nothing)
Am                    Am/G
Ohohohoh give me the words     (In a manner of speaking semantics won't do)
Am/G         Am/F
Give me the words     (In this life that we live we only make do)
Am/F          E    E7
Give me the words     (And the things that we feel might have to be sacrified)

[Outro]
Am
Oh   give me the words
Am
Give me the words
Am
Give me the words
