The Words

Christina Perri


Tom: F#

Intro 2x: E  B  F# 

          E      B       F#
All of the lights land on you 
                E      B         F#
The rest of the world fades from view 
               E      B    D      F#      D       B      F#
And all of the love I see please, please say you feel it too 

               E       B     F#
And all of the noise I hear inside 
             E        B         F#
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild 
                 E       B
And all that you need to say 
           D       F#
To make it all go away 
            D        B        F#
Is that you feel the same way too 

      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db
Cause love is a ghost you can't control 
                                      Abm
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now 
            B         Db          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth 

          E           B          F#
And all of the stairs that lead me to you 
               E      B           F#
And all of the hell I had to walk through 
      E        B                   D         F#
But I wouldn't trade a day for the chance to say 
    D          B         F#
My love I'm in love with you 

      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db
Cause love is a ghost you can't control 
                                      Abm
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now 
            B         Db          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth 

Ebm                D
I know that we're both afraid 
                 F#
We both made the same mistakes 
        Abm                          Ebm
An open heart is an open wound to you 
                     D
And in the wind of a heavy choice 
           F#
Love has a quiet voice 
          Abm                    B
Still you mind, now I'm yours to choose
 
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                         Db
Let my love be the light that guides you home 

      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go 
                                Db
Cause love is a ghost you can't control 
                                      Abm
I promise you the truth can't hurt us now 
            B         Db          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth
