GbABGb7AE
I got something for you, man.
A/ E/ B/ Gbm/
A/ Dbm/ B
(You gotta say it, you gotta say it)
Verse 1:
DbmDbm/B
Silence is golden but these are the words
Dbm
that the world needs to hear. (Brothers and sisters)
DbmDbm/B
Terms of compassion will cause a reaction
DbmDbm/E
As love drawls them near
ADbm
But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride
BGbm
Pretending we are blind to the calling
ADbm
This is my point and case, if hate can be erased
BGbm
With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling?
Chorus:
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them).
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them).
ADbmB
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it.
Verse 2:
AGbm
Some just assume we already know
DbmB
Of the love that they feel. (Brothers and sisters)
AGbm
Some have a heartfelt emotion
DbmB
But never the words to reveal.
ADbm
I think we all relate, so why are we afraid
BGbm
To let our hearts convey what we're feeling?
ADbm
There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed
B
And love can intercede if we're willing, so...
Chorus:
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them).
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them).
ADbmB
Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it.
Dbm
The word love, well it was once overused
back in the 70's the word was abused
A/Db
But I refuse to let love be diluted.
We can't allow physical lust to intrude it.
Gbm/Db
Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse
for the greatest gift of all to be abused
Dbm
So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you.
Don't be afraid of the words "I love you".
Chorus:
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you".
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them).
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them).
Chorus:
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long to hear them).
AEBGbm
Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" (Say "I love you").
ADbmB
Say the words I long to hear (I long, I long, I long to hear them).
