Intro 1
(G major) (G major)
(C/G) (G major) (G/F#) (G/E)
Verse 1
(D major) Seems like only yesterday
I (E minor) left my mind behind
(D major) Down in the gypsy café
With a (E minor) friend of a friend of mine
Who (D major) sat with baby heavy on her knee (A minor)
Yet (D major) spoke of life most free from slavery (A minor)
With eyes (D major) that showed no trace of misery (A minor)
A phrase (D major) in connection first with (A minor) she
oc (C major) (D major) curred
That (D7) love is just a four-letter word (G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
Out (G/F#) side (G/E) a rambling

Verse 2
(D major) store-front window
Cats (E minor) meowed to the break of day
(D major) Me, I kept my mouth shut
To you I had (E minor) no words to say
My ex (D major) perience was limited and under (A minor) fed
(D major) You were talking while I (A minor) hid
To the (D major) one who was the father of your (A minor) kid
You (D major) probably didn't think I (A minor) did, but (C major) I (D major) heard
You say, that (D7) love
is just a four-letter (G major) word (G major) (G major) (G major)
(G/F#) (G/E) I
Verse 3
(D major) said goodbye unnoticed
Pushed forth (E minor) into my own games
Drifting (D major) in and out of lifetimes
Un (E minor) mentionable by name
(D major) Searching for my double, looking (A minor) for
Com (D major) plete evaporation to the core (A minor)
Though I (D major) tried and failed at finding any door (A minor)
I (D major) must have thought that
there was nothing (A minor) more (C major) ab (D major) surd
Than that (D7) love is just a four-letter word (G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
(G/F#) Though I (G/E)
Verse 4
(D major) never knew just what you meant
When you were (E minor) speaking to your man
I can (D major) only think in terms of me
And now (E minor) I understand
After (D major) waking enough times to think I (A minor) see
The holy (D major) kiss
that's supposed to last eternity (A minor)
Blow (D major) up in smoke, its destiny (A minor)
Falls (D major) on strangers, travels (A minor) free
Yes, I know (D major) now, traps are only set by (A minor) me
And I (D major) do not really need to be (A minor)
as (C major) (D major) sured
That (D7) love is just a four-letter word (G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
(G/F#) Strange (G/E) it is
Verse 5
(D major) to be beside you
Many years (E minor) the tables turned
You'd (D major) probably not believe me
If I (E minor) told you all I've learned
And (D major) it is very, very weird indeed (A minor)
To (D major) hear words like forever, (A minor) fleets
Of (D major) ships run through my mind, I cannot (A minor) cheat
It's like (D major) looking in the teacher's face com (A minor) plete
I (D major) can say nothing to you but repeat (A minor)
what (C major) I (D major) heard
That (D7) love is just a four-letter word (G major) (G major) (G major) (G major)
(G major)
