Tom: A
A
Since you shot my sorrow
F#m E
Since you shot my sorrows down
D
All these troubles I've been carrying like weights, they float onto the dusty ground
A
Since you turned your light
F#m
Upon my darkened days
E D
Oh how I've learned to love the silence in the violence of this language born to fail
D E
So I take this shot to see where it lands
A F#m
But I can't put my faith into your so gentle hands
D E
You say, "Is this love? Is this what it seems?"
A F#m
I say, "Whatever love—whatever love—whatever love means
A F#m
"Whatever love—whatever love—whatever love means
E
"Whatever love—whatever love...
D
"'Cos if something can mean anything it means nothing to me"
A F#m E D D x2
[Verse 2]
A
If every man's a poet
F#m E
And every poet is a thief
D
Then why can't we confess with eloquence? This disconnect brings a man to his knees
A
So come on words don't fail me
F#m
Cut out my tongue and hurt like hell
E D
'Cos language died here, honey, in the poisoned mouth of love where we all are infidels
D E
So I scream into this nothingness
A F#m
A guilty consciounce, oh, it needs to confess
D E
So don't eat words 'cos words are cheap
A F#m
Like whatever love—whatever love—whatever love means
[Chorus]
D E
Because words are so cheap
A F#m
They just come so goddamn easily
D E A F#m
Will you take out your heart to see the hole in your soul where they used to be?
D E
Words are so cheap like whatever love...
A Bm D x4
D E A F#m
[Chorus]
D E
I said words are so cheap
A F#m
They just come so goddamn easily
D E A F#m
Will you take out your heart to see the hole in your soul where they used to be?
D E
Because words are so cheap
A F#m
They just come so goddamn easily
D E A F#m
Take out your heart to see the hole in your soul where they used to be
D E
Because words are so cheap
A F#m
They just come so goddamn easily
D E
And anyway, love's not a word, love's a deed
A
Whatever love means
[Outro]
F#m
Whatever love—whatever love means
A F#m
Whatever love—whatever love—whatever love means
A F#m
Whatever love—whatever love—whatever love means
E
Whatever love—whatever love...
D
'Cos if something can mean anything it means nothing to me
