Christina Perri - The Words Chords

[intro]
E  B  F#
E  B  F#

[verse]
          E      B       F#
All of the lights land on you
                E      B         F#
The rest of the world fades from view
               E      B    D
And all of the love I see please,
 F#      D       B      F#
 please say you feel it too
               E       B     F#
And all of the noise I hear inside
             E        B         F#
Restless and loud, unspoken and wild
                 E       B
And all that you need to say
           D       F#
To make it all go away
            D        B        F#
Is that you feel the same way too

[chorus]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[instrumental]
E  B  F#
E  B  F#

[verse]
               E           B          F#
And all of the stairs that lead me to you
               E      B           F#
And all of the hell I had to walk through
                E        B          D         F#
But I wouldn’t trade a day for the chance to say
    D          B         F#
My love I’m in love with you

[chorus]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#          F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[verse]
                 D#m
I know that we’re both afraid
                  D
We both made the same mistakes
        G#m                          D#m
An open heart is an open wound to you
                     D
And in the wind of a heavy choice
           F#
Love has a quiet voice
          G#m                    B
Still you mind, now I’m yours to choose

[chorus/outro]
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                         C#
Let my love be the light that guides you home
      F#                                B
And I know the scariest part is letting go
                                C#
Cause love is a ghost you can’t control
                                      G#m
I promise you the truth can’t hurt us now
            B         C#           F#
So let the words slip out of your mouth

[ending]
E  B  F#
E  B  F#
