[D] Seems like only [Em] yesterday I left my mind behind
[D]
Down in the gypsy cafe [Em] with a friend of a friend of mine
[D] Who sat with baby heavy on her [Am] knee
[D] Yet spoke of life most free from [Am] slavery
[D] With eyes that showed no trace of [Am] misery
[D] The phrase in connection [Am] first with she [C] [D] occurred
That love is just a four letter [G]
word
Outside [D] a rattling storefront, oh [Em] cats and gobs, break of day
[D] Me, I kept my mouth shut to you, [Em] I had no words to say
My [D]
experience was limited and [Am] underfed
[D] You were talking while [Am] I hid
To [D] the one who was the father of [Am] your kid
[D] You probably didn't think [Am] I did, [C] but I [D]
heard
You say [A] that love is just [D] a four letter [G]
word
I [D] said goodbye and pushed [Em] forth into my own games
[D] Drifting in and out, [Em] mentionable by name
[D]
Searching for my double, [Am] looking for
[D]
Complete evaporation to [Am] the core
Though [D] I tried and failed at finding [Am] any door
[D] I must have thought that there was [Am] nothing [C] more [D] absurd
Than that love is just a four [G] letter word
Though [D] I never guessed what you meant [Em] when you were speaking to your man
[D] I could only think in terms of [Em] me and now I understand
[D] After waking enough times to [Am] think I see
The [D] holy kiss that's supposed to last [Am] eternity
[D] Blow up in smoke, it's [Am] destiny
[D]
Falls on strangers, [Am] travels free
Yes [D] I know now traps are only set [Am] by me
And [D] I do not really need [Am] to be [D] assured
That love is just a four letter [G]
word
Strange [D] it is to be beside you many [Em] years
The tables turn, [D] you'd probably leave if [Em] I told you all I've learned
[D] And it is very, very weird [Am] indeed
[D] To hear words like [Am] forever plea
Though [D] ships run through my mind I [Am] cannot cheat
It's [D] like looking in a teacher's [Am] face complete
[D] I can say nothing to you but [Am] repeat
[C] What I [D]
heard
That love is just a four letter [G]
word
