[D]
Seems like only yesterday [Em] I left my mind behind
[D]
Down in the gypsy cafe [Em] with a friend of a friend of mine
[D] Who sat with baby heavy [Am] on her knee
[D] Yet spoke of life most free from [Am] slavery
[D] With eyes that showed no trace of [Am] misery
[D] The phrase in connection first [Am] with she [C] [D]
occurred
That love is just a four letter [G]
word
Outside [D] a rattling store front [Em] on break day
[D] Me, I kept my mouth shut to you, [Em] I had no words to say
My [D]
experience was limited and [Am] underfed
[D] You were talking while [Am] I hid
To [D] the one who was the father of [Am] your kid
[D] You probably didn't think [Am] I did, [C] but I [D] heard
You say [A] that love is just [D] a four letter [G]
word
I [D] said goodbye, just pushed [Em] forth into my own games
[D] Drifting in an [Em] unmentionable by name
[D]
Searching for my double, [Am] looking for
[D]
Complete evaporation to [Am] the core
Though [D] I tried and failed at finding [Am] any door
[D] I must have thought that there was [Am] nothing [C] more [D] absurd
Than that love is just a four [G] letter word
[D] Though I never just watched you [Em] man when you were speaking to your man
[D] I can only think in terms of [Em] me and now I understand
[D] After waking enough times to [Am] think I see
The [D] holy kiss that's supposed to last an [Am] eternity
[D] Blow up in smoke, it's [Am] destiny
[D]
Falls on strangers, [Am] travels free
Yes [D] I know now traps are only [Am] set by me
And [D] I do not really [Am] need to be
As [D]
sure that love is just a four [G] letter word
[N]
