Rod Clements - We Have To Talk
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
F  C  Dm7   C
[Verse 1]
We have to talk, alGthough it won't be Ceasy
And Fseeing you right Cnow is hard to Gdo
It's Cno good sitting Ggazing at the Ctable
We Fhave to Ctalk beGfore this night is Cthrough
[Verse 2]
I could have done with Glonger to forCget you
For Ftime will show there's Cnothing left to Gsay
You Calways put such Gfaith in converCsation
We Fhave to Ctalk 'cause Gthere's no other Cway
[Chorus]
GHow could we have come to this
To Fbreak each other's Cheart
GFriends from that first stolen kiss
         FN.C           G    Am7  G  
Strangers when we part
[Verse 3]
We Cused to talk all Gnight without a Creason
When Fthoughts had wings we Cdidn't hesiGtate
Now Ctime has flown and Gleft us in conCfusion
We Fhave to Ctalk beGfore it gets too Clate
[Instrumental]
C   G   C      F  C  G   C
[Chorus]
GHow could we have come to this
To Fbreak each other's Cheart
GFriends from that first stolen kiss
         FN.C           G    Am7  G  
Strangers when we part
[Verse 4]
So Clook me in the Geye before you Canswer
FDo I stick aCround or do I Gwalk?
Though Cwords have never Gmade a bit of Cdifference
Before we say goodnight, we have to talk
BeFfore we Csay goodGnight, we have to Ctalk
