I could tell you that I loved you from the start

I could tell you that I cut you out of stars

Like you're the flame and I'm a cigarette

Like Clyde and Bonnie, Romeo and Juliette

And we could be a modern Bogart and Bacall

Baby ours could be the greatest love of all

I could say that I would never criticize you

Never lie when I am looking in your eyes

But that is only words and words and words

Yeah that is only words and words and words

F C

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

F Cm

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

C F

And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

When it's bigger than bigger than words

I could tell you that I want to be a wife

I'd take a vow, take a bullet, take a life

It's beautiful but compared to how I love ya

It's stale and stupid and it's all been said enough

But that is only words and words and words

Yeah that is only words and words and words

F C

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

F Cm

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

C F

And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

When it's bigger than bigger than words

Dm Bb

And words can't feel

And words don't breathe

C Dm

And words can't tell you what you mean to me

Bb F

Those three small words are overused

So "more than words" means more than "I love you"

If you're savvy you'll know what I'm trying to say

When I say "I'll settle for 'I love you' anyway"

I could tell you that I cut you out of stars

But it's just a ghost of what I'm feeling in my heart

And that is only words

That is only words

F C

Damn it all the words and words and words just get in my way

F Cm

And Love, yeah you're leaving me speechless

I can feel it in each kiss

C F

And it's bigger than bigger than wooooooooords

So I hope you can feel it

Cause I couldn't conceal it

C F

When it's bigger than bigger than words
