[Eb] Seems like only yesterday [Fm] I left my mind behind _ [Eb] Down in a gypsy cafe [Fm] with a friend of a friend
of mine [Ab] [Eb] Who sat with a baby heavy on [Bbm] her knee _ _
[Eb] Yet spoke of life most free from [Bbm] slavery _ _ _ _ [Eb] With eyes that showed no trace of [Bbm] misery _ _
_ [Eb] The phrase in connection first [Bb] was [Db] she, _ _ [Eb] I'll care
_ That love is just a four [Ab]-letter _ word
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Outside [Eb] a rattling front door window [Fm] cuts me out to the break of day _
[Eb] Me, I kept my mouth shut to you, I [Fm] had no words to say
[Eb] My experience was a limited and [Bbm] unfair _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ You were talking [Bbm] while I hid _ [Eb] To the one who was the father of [Bbm] your kid _
You [Eb] _ _ probably didn't think I [Bbm] did [Db] But [Eb] I heard _ you say that love is just a [Ab]
four-letter _ word
I _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] said good _ _ _ _ [Fm] _
in my own games [Eb] Drifting in and out, _ _ [Fm] _
unmentionable by name
[Eb] _
Searching for my double, [Bbm] looking for _ _ [Eb] Complete _ _ evaporation to [Bbm] the core
_ [Eb] Though I tried and failed at finding [Bbm] any door _ I [Eb] _
must have thought that there was nothing [Db] _
more _ _ [Eb] absurd
_ _ _ Than that love is just a [Ab] four-letter word
_ _ _ [Fm] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _
Though [Eb] I never knew just what you meant [Fm] when you were speaking to your man
[Eb] I can only think in terms of [Fm] me and now I understand
[Eb] After waking enough times to think [Bbm] I see _ The [Eb] holy kiss that's supposed to last _ [Bbm] eternity _ _
Blow [Eb] _ _ up in smoke its [Bbm] destiny _ _ _
_ [Eb] Falls on strangers, [Bbm] travels free _
[Eb] Yes I know now traps are only set [Bbm] by me _ [Eb] And I do not really [Bbm] need to be [Db] _ _
_ [Eb] _ assured _ _
That love is just [Ab] a four-letter _ word _
_ _ [Fm] _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] Strange it is to be beside you [Fm] many years and tables turned
[Eb] You probably know _ _ _ [Fm]
you all have learned [Eb] That it is very, very [Bbm] weird indeed
_ _ [Eb] To hear words like forever [Bbm]
plead _ _ _ [Eb] Those chips run through my mind I cannot [Bbm] _
cheat
_ [Eb] It's like looking in the teacher's face [Bbm] complete _ _ _ [Eb] I can say nothing to you but [Bbm] repeat
_ _ _ [Eb] No I can't say nothing to you but [Bbm] repeat _ [Db] What _ [Eb] I've heard
_ That love is just a four [Ab]-letter _ word _ _ _ _ _
