Bm G A Bm
We wanna get a statement, for Jesus' sake
G A
It's like-a talking to the wall
Bm G A Bm A
He's incommunicado, no comment to make
G A
He's saying nothing at all
[Chorus]
G D Em D
Yeah, but in communiqué, you know he's gonna come clean
G D Em D
Think what he say, say what he mean
G D Em D
Maybe on a Monday he got something to say

Bm G A Bm
Maybe he could talk about the tricks of the trade
G A
Maybe he could talk about himself
Bm G A Bm A
Maybe he could talk about the money that he made

Maybe he'd be saying something else

Communiqué
[Bridge]
A
And now the rumours are flying, speculation rife
A
Say that he's been trying someone else's wife
A
Somebody at the airport, somebody on the phone
A
Says he's at the station and he's coming home alone
[Verse 3]
Bm G A Bm
Then we get the story, a serious breeze
G A
And a photograph a-taken in the hall
Bm G A Bm
And you don't have to worry with the previous release
A G A
Right now, he's saying nothing at all
[Chorus]
G D Em D
But in communiqué you know he's gonna come clean
G D Em D
Think what he say, say what he mean
G D Em D
Maybe on a Monday he'll have something to say
G Bm A Bm
Communication, communiqué
