These Three Words Chords by Stevie Wonder

_ _ [G] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ [Em] _
[Dm] _ _ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [C] _ [G] When was [Bm] the last time [Em] that they heard you [B] say,
_ [C] Mother [Bm] [Am] or Father I love you?
_ [G] And when was [Bm] the last time [Em] that they heard you [G] say,
_ [C] Daughter [G] or [C] Son I love you?
_ [Em] _ Once you say [G] you cherish every day,
[C] Then and [B] simply be taken away,
_ [E] Then you say I [C#m] know this can't be true,
When [Am] you never took the time to simply tell [C] them I love you.
[G] When [Bm] was the last time [Em] that they heard you [G] say,
_ [C] Sister [Bm] or [Am] Brother I love you?
[G] And when [Bm] was the last time [Em] that they heard you [G] say,
_ [C] _ [Bm] Darling or Best [Am] Friend I love you?
[Em] The one for whom [G] you'd give your very life,
[C] Could be taken in [B] the twinkling of an eye.
_ [E] Drew your tears [C#m] you'd ask why did you go,
[Am] Knowing you didn't always show,
Just how much [G] you love them [C] so.
These [Bm] three [Em] words, _ _ [D] _ _ [G] sweet [Am] and simple,
_ _ _ [Bm] These three words, [A] _ [D] _ _ [Am] short and _ kind,
_ _ [D] These three _ words, _ _ _ [G] [C] always simple,
[Am] _ And aching heart to fall [E] inside,
I know a family [Am] who hasn't a sin to their name,
[C#m] And yet the joy and [F#] love they have between [Bm] them,
They always claim.
[Em] And when one's carved from life [A] to [D] survive on the loss,
It will never be [Bm] the same,
[Em] Yet they rejoice [A] in knowing they give them [C] their all.
