This is my attempt of finding the chords that belong to Birdy’s song Without a 
word. This will not sound 100% like the original one, and thats not what I 
intented to do either, so its a little of my own version, but it should work. 
[Intro]
G Bm
G Bm
G Bm
G Bm
[Verse]
(All of the chords are played the same, except for C which is half a time longer, 
and D which is half a time shorter. So if the normal chord was four, C would be 6 
and D would be 2)
GAnd you can tell the worBmld
CThat you're leavingD  
GAnd you can pack your baBmgs
CAnd spread your wingsD  
GAnd you can tell them alBml
CThat it's overD  
GBut while you wave goodbyeBm  
C               C9 (I play this without the finger on the third string)
I'll be getting closer
[Chorus]
In the chorus, I play the C9 like described above. It also works with a normal C
GStand there and look into my eyesC9  
GAnd tell me that all we had were liC9es
GShow me that you don't careC9  
GAnd I'll stay here if you preC9fer
C9Yes I'll leave you without a woGrd
C9Without a word
The chords are the same as written before in the next verse and chorus :)
And you can tell the world
That you're tired
But your excuses, they won't work
'Cause I'll know that you're lying
Every time that I see your face
I notice all the suffering
Just turn to my embrace
I won't let you come to nothing
Stand there and look into my eyes
And tell me that all we had were lies
Show me that you don't care
And I'll stay here if you prefer
Yes I'll leave you without a word
CWithout a wordG  Bm
