Capo 3rd Fret
Intro: (C) (G) (Am7) (Fadd9) x 2
The (C) neighbor next door (G) just barely
says good (Fadd9) mornin'
The (C) boys down at work didnt (G) ask me
To stop for a (Fadd9) beer
I (F) guess they heard 'bout (Gsus2) me and (G) you
(C) Nothin' spreads like (F) real bad news
(Dm) 'Cause the silence is loud and (Gsus2) clear
(C) Nobody knows what to (Gadd9) say
They just (Am7) stare at their shoes
And make (Fadd9) up an excuse to (Dm) turn and walk a(G)way
(C) Nobody knows what to (Gadd9) say
'Cause you (Am7) just don't up and (Fadd9) lose
The love of a (Dm) lifetime every(Gsus2)day
(Dm) Since you took your (G) love away
Nobody knows what to (C) say (G) (Am7) (Fadd9)
(C) We were the ones every(G)one said would last for(Fadd9)ever
(C) We had the kind of (G) love people talked a(Fadd9)bout

(Dm) So my world's awful quiet (Gsus2) now
