                ONLY THESE WORDS
                 CHRIS CORNELL
[Intro]
Em (Barre chord muted) then  G
[Verse]
 G
In a castle
Bm
  Down a long road
Dm                   C
  A little girl was born
G
  To a king and
Bm
  To a queen and
Dm                   C
  Her mother’s eyes welled with tears of joy
Cm                     G
  Staring at the tiny face
B                   C
  Of a miracle she made
[Chorus]
 G         D     Em   C
She would say I love you
Am               F    G  G
She would say I love you
[Verse]
 G
Summer came and went
Bm
  Unrolling 
Dm            C
  Trees all stripped to the bone
G
  Daddy’s little girl 
Bm
  In his arms, well
Dm                    C
  They sit upon his throne
Cm
  Who is that thief 
 G
Hiding in the dark
 B                                 C
Just a little girl who stole his heart
[Chorus]
G         D     Em   C
He would say I love you
G         D     Em   C
He would say I love you
Am               F    G
He would say I love you
BREAK:
Bm                               Em
  With only these three words repeating
           C
A simple greeting 
                        G
But it’s all you would keep
Bm                        B
  Clever lips can be misleading
   C
A tongue can fly away
    Em     G    A
And won’t come back
         G
But it’s only these words 
D             G Bm Dm C    Cm G Em A C D
We recognize
[Verse]
G
  6 o’clock A.M
Bm
  The alarm rings out
Dm               C
 Awoken from a dream
G
  No more castle 
Bm
  Down a long road
Dm                  C
  No more kings and no more queens
Cm                               G
  But she’s a princess none the less
B                                       C
  And a handsome prince is what she’ll get
[Chorus/Outro]
G        D     Em   C
He will say I love you
G        D     Em   C
He will say I love you
G        D     Em   C
He will say I love you
Am             F    G
He will say I love you
Am             F    G
He will say I love you
Am             F    G   Bm  Dm  C  G
He will say I love you
