  Amx02210
  Em022000
  B7x21202
[Verse 1]
AmDon't go sending me those three dozen Emroses
AmDon't you know that just one rose will Emdo
AmDon't go trying to put diamonds on my Emfingers
B7Don't you know that I'm making money too
[Verse 2]
AmDon't go throwing those stones outside my Emwindow
AmYou don't gotta be calling three times a Emday
'Cause Amif you do then when we get toEmgether
I'll be B7biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say
[Pre-Chorus]
AmHaven't you heard absence makes the heart grow Emfonder
AmHaven't you heard nothing good comes overEmnight
I'm Amtelling you straight baby, just in case you Emwonder
It's B7turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right
[Chorus]
Less is Ammore
Back it up, slow it down, let it Embreathe
'Cause too much of a good thing can Ambe bad
See Emwe don't wanna go out like that
Less is Ammore
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it Emout
If you want me to still be aB7round, remember
[Verse 3]
AmIf you wanna be showing your afEmfection
AmDon't you know a simple kiss will Emdo
AmSo many beautiful ways for love's exEmpression
But I'm B7sorry to say your way ain't getting through
[Pre-Chorus]
AmHaven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow Emfonder
AmHaven't you heard nothing good comes overEmnight
I'm Amtelling you straight baby, just in case you Emwonder
It's B7turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right
[Chorus]
Less is Ammore
Back it up, slow it down, let it Embreathe
'Cause too much of a good thing can Ambe bad
See Emwe don't wanna go out like that
Less is Ammore
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it Emout
If you want me to still be aB7round, remember
[Bridge]
AmIt would be something if I had a chance to be Emmissing you
AmToo much for taking, it's driving me crazy, that's Emall you do
It Amneeds rearranging, it's so suffocating that EmI can't move
You gotta take B7two steps back, believe what they say; it's true
[Chorus]
Less is Ammore
Back it up, slow it down, let it Embreathe
'Cause too much of a good thing can Ambe bad
Be so Embad
Less is Ammore
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it Emout
If you want me to still be aB7round, rememberAm  
[Outro]
Gimme a chance to miss youEm

[Verse 1]

Am Em

Don't go sending me those three dozen roses

Am Em

Don't you know that just one rose will do

Am Em

Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers

Don't you know that I'm making money too

[Verse 2]

Am Em

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window

Am Em

You don't gotta be calling three times a day

Am Em

'Cause if you do then when we get together

I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

[Pre-Chorus]

Am Em

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder

Am Em

Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight

Am Em

I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder

It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right

[Chorus]

Less is more

Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe

'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad

See we don't wanna go out like that

Less is more

Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out

If you want me to still be around, remember

[Verse 3]

Am Em

If you wanna be showing your affection

Am Em

Don't you know a simple kiss will do

Am Em

So many beautiful ways for love's expression

But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

[Pre-Chorus]

Am Em

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder

Am Em

Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight

Am Em

I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder

It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right

[Chorus]

Less is more

Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe

'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad

See we don't wanna go out like that

Less is more

Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out

If you want me to still be around, remember

[Bridge]

Am Em

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you

Am Em

Too much for taking, it's driving me crazy, that's all you do

Am Em

It needs rearranging, it's so suffocating that I can't move

You gotta take two steps back, believe what they say; it's true

[Chorus]

Less is more

Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe

'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad

Be so bad

Less is more

Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out

B7 Am

If you want me to still be around, remember

[Outro]

Gimme a chance to miss you

Boy, I don't mean to diss you, but

I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day

Am Em

You know, baby you crowding me out

Haven't you heard less is more

Less is more

Listen to me boy

Less is more
