A Thousand Words

Savage Garden


Tom: F

Intro: Gm / Bb / F / C / Gm / Bb / F / C 

Gm               Bb                    F
we stumble in a tangled web decaying friendships almost dead
                C
and hide behind a mask of lies
Gm                 Bb                  F
we twist and turn and we avoid all hope of salvage now devoid
                    C
i see the truth inside your eyes

  Gm            Bb           F           C
so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
Gm            Bb        F       C
i'll bear the cost shed my skin call you up and then
i'll say the words out loud

Chorus:
Gm               Bb
you could resurrect a thousand words
    C          F
to deceive me more and more
Gm                    Bb
a thousand words will give the reasons
        C       F
why i don't need you anymore

solo: Gm/Bb/F/C

Gm               Bb               F
time manipulates your heart preconceptions torn apart
                 C
begin to doubt my state of mind
Gm                    Bb                      F
but i won't go down on what i said i won't retract convictions read
                  C
i may perplex but i'm not blind

  Gm            Bb           F           C
so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
Gm            Bb        F       C
i'll bear the cost shed my skin call you up and then
i'll say the words out loud

(Chorus)

Gm                  Bb    F                    C
i'll say the words out loud   i'll say a thousand words or more
Gm                        Bb
manipulation fabrication conversation annihilation
F                    C
i'll say a thousand words or more
Gm             Bb
damnation frustration elevation procreation
F                    C
i'll say a thousand words or more

(Chorus)
