In A Manner Of Speaking

Tom: Am

Am
In a Manner of speaking

I just want to say
C/G
That I could never forget the way
C/F
You told me everything
          E4    E7
By saying nothing


Am
In a manner of speaking

I don't understand
C/G
How love in silence becomes reprimand
C/F
But the way that i feel about you
       E4      E7
Is beyond words


Am            C/G
Oh give me the words
             C/F
Give me the words
           E4      E7
That tell me nothing
Am                   C/G
Ohohohoh give me the words
               C/F
Give me the words
               E4     E7
That tell me everything


( Am C/G C/F E4 E7 )
In a manner of speaking

Semantics won't do

In this life that we live we only make do

And the way that we feel

Might have to be sacrified


( Am C/G C/F E4 E7 )
So in a manner of speaking

I just want to say

That just like you I should find a way

To tell you everything

By saying nothing.


( Am C/G C/F E4 E7 )
Oh give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me nothing

Ohohohoh give me the words

Give me the words

That tell me everything


( Am C/G C/F E4 E7 )
Oh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me nothing
Ohohohoh give me the words
Give me the words
That tell me everything
