         G       C        D
Never a word, a word so true
           G       Em      C
Passed between us, me and you
           G          C      D
Heard you found your pot of gold
             Em  C          G D
That's the story I've been told

Never a word was said in vain
Some were never sad again
Some were lost in lovers' heat
Some lay fallen at our feet

Chorus:
D    Em G/B  C
All day all night
    Em      C      D    G
I think of you and only you
All day all night
I think of you and only you

Never a word escaped my lips
Silenced by your fingertips
I kept my word, can you believe
All this time so hard to breathe

Hard to breathe
