What Did You Mean When You Said Love

Theo Katzman


Tom: Bbm

Bbm            Ebm         Bbm
Love, what did you mean by love?
        F            Ebm
Is that the word you meant to whisper
        Bbm          Ab     Ebm
With kisses down her neck?
Bbm             Ab/C      Db
Love, what did you mean by that?
         Db/F       Ebm
And what did you expect would happen?
          Bbm        Ab                    Absus4     Db/F
She'd pat you on the back, stand up and start slow cla-ppin'?


[Chorus]
Gb   Ab                    Db   F7  Bbm
Love, what did you mean by love?
                   Ebm            Ab
You must've meant "like you strongly" (yeah)
                   Db              Db7
Unless you meant "just your body" just enough to
Gb   Ab                 Db  F7  Bbm
Stay, but not enough to fall
                  Ebm
Instead of givin' up
Ab                     Bbm
What did you mean by love?

Bbm Bbm Bbm Ebm x2


[Verse]
Bbm            Ebm           Bbm
Hope, what did you mean you "hope so"?
        F             Ebm
Did you mean you were less than likely
         Bbm           Ab
To head over your heels, because your heart was
      Ebm   Bbm
Just not there?
             Ab/C       Db
That's what you could've said
      Db/F       Ebm
No hieroglyphics to decipher
      Bbm            Ab                  Absus4   Db/F
No beating round the bush, just set the bush on fire but


[Chorus]
Gb  Ab                      Db   F7  Bbm
Love, what did you mean by love?
                   Ebm            Ab
I think you meant "see you later" (yeah)
                   Db              Db7
"It's really been a bunch of fun but now it's done"
Gb     Ab                    Db  F7  Bbm
I know, you probably have to go
                      Ebm
But I'd still like to know,
Ab
What did you mean by

[Verse]
Bbm             Ebm         Bbm
Love, it's more than just a word
            F              Ebm
You thought that you could test the waters
         Bbm      Ab                 Absus4  Db/F
Droppin' the atom bomb, well now the water's turnin'


[Chorus]
Gb  Ab                    Db   F7  Bbm
Red, and all the fish are dead
                   Ebm    Ab
Floatin' around my head
                   Db                  Db7
With all the other things I could have said to make you
Gb  Ab                     Db  F7  Bbm
See, just what you mean to me,         but
                     Ebm
The damage has been done
Ab
