I've been staring at the page for what seems like days
          D                A           D            G
I guess I put this one off for a while
  D                       A         D            D
Did I see a tear fall from your eyes ?
                                  A
Or did you laugh so hard that you cried ?
           D                         G
When I served my secrets on a silver tray to you (hey now)
       D                      A               D
Hey now, I guess the night's just bringing me down
Em7                 G                        G

There's no love, there's no hate
           D                G
I left them there for you to take
            D                  G
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
              D                A             D

You've been the blood in my veins
                   D          A
The only one who knows my middle name
                 D                 G
And the smiles, they came easy 'cause of you (hey now)
        D                   A             D
You know that I love you, but I hate you
                 D                A
'Cause I know I can never escape you
         D                   G
So let the choir sing for tonight I'm an easy mark (hey now)
           D                A                   D
Hey now, am I acting just a little too proud ?
Em7           G

There's no love, there's no hate
           D                G
I left them there for you to take
            D                  G
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
              D                A             D
Have I said too much
       D            A
Maybe I haven't said enough
        D                G
But know that every word was a piece of my heart (hey now)
              D                A             D             D

Hush me darling, maybe I've lost my touch
A                           G          D
Maybe I've lost my guts
           A              A
There, is that truth enough ?
               G
Hey now, hey now...

You know these love letters mix with whisky
                      D                A
Just don't light a match when you kiss me
           D                       G
Though I'll blow away, you know I'll be back soon (hey now)
            D              A                 D
Hey now, hey now, hey now, am I talking just a little too loud ?
Em7      G        Em7           G

There's no love, there's no hate
           D                G
I left them there for you to take
            D                  G
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
              D                A             D
Have I said too much
       D            A
Maybe I haven't said enough
        D                G
But know that every word was a piece of my heart
              D                A             D             D

Hey now, am I talking just a little too proud ?
Em7           G
Hey now, the night's just bringing me down
