More Than Words
Nuno Bettencourt & Gary Cherone

Extreme
Pornograffitti
1990
I've had so many requests for this song that it isn't even funny.
So here it is (I finally got up the ambition to tune 1/2 step down).
My thoughts on this song: all the girls who love it should listen to
what Gary is saying...  Whenever you see the row of x in the tab,
smack your hand gently against the strings to bang them into the
frets and give you that percussive sound.  One note: I am not
even going to try the album ending.

LYRICS:
play intro Saying "I love you" Is not the words I want to hear from you It's not that I want to Not to say but if you only knew How easy it would be to show me how you feel More than words is all you have to do to make it real Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me Cause I'd already know
CHORUS What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying "I love you" play intro More than words strum D at end of intro
Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand All you have to do is close your eyes And just reach out your hands and touch me Hold me close don't ever let me go More than words is all I ever needed you to show Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me Cause I'd already know
CHORUS What would you do if my heart was torn in two More than words to show you feel That your love for me is real What would you say if I took those words away Then you couldn't make things new Just by saying I love you play intro w/ ad-lib More than words end on G
