Chords for Edith Frost - If It Weren't for the Words

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
I'd be writing all day
If it weren't for the words
[E] I'd find something [B] to say
If it weren't for the words
It's the words that give [E] me trouble
I'd [C#m] be alright [F#] if it weren't for [B] the words
I could pick up the phone
If it weren't for the words
[E] I could talk all day long
[B] If it weren't for the words
It's the words that make [E] me stumble
I'd be [C#m] doing alright [F#] if it weren't for the words
[B] But I got nothing
_ [E] Stuck without a thought in my _ [B] head
[C#m] Drumming my fingers against the table _
_ [F#] Tapping [F#m] on [D#m] my cigarette
[C#] You could [B] never tell a lie
If it weren't for the words
[E] Or say goodbye
[B] If it weren't for the words
It's the words that [E] always hurt me
I'd be [C#m] doing alright [F#] if it weren't for [B] the words _

But I _ _ got nothing
[E] Haven't got a thought in my _ head
[C#m] Drumming my fingers on the table _
_ [C#] Tapping on [F#m] my [F#] cigarette
You could never tell a lie
If it weren't for the words
[E] Or sing a sad goodbye
[B] If it weren't for the words
It's the words that come to [E] nothing
I'd be doing [C#m] alright [F#] if it weren't for [B] the words
Yeah, I'd be alright [F#] if it weren't for the [B] words
I'd be feeling [C#] just fine [F#] if it weren't for the [B] words _ _
