Play Ryth Fig. 1 total of 2x over these verses (doubled by clean electric)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain?t getting us nowhere
I told you everything I possibly can
There?s nothing left inside of here

And maybe you can cry all night
But that?ll never change the way that I feel
The snow is really piling up outside
I wish you wouldn?t make me leave here (Fill 1)

[D]I poured it on and I poured [A]it out
[D]I tried to show you just how [A]much I care
[D]I?m tired of words and I?m to [A]hoarse to shout
[G]But you?ve been cold to me so long
[D]I?m crying icicles instead of te[E]ars
And [D]all I can [E]do is [D]keep on t[E]elling you

CHORUS

[A]I want you (I want you)
[F#Maj]I need you (I need you)
But there[D] ain?t no [E]way I?m [C#m]ever gonna [F#Maj]love you
Now d[D]on?t be[F#Maj] sad (D[D]on?t [A]be [E]sad cause)
?Cause [D]two out of t[E]hree ain?t [F#Maj]bad
Now [D]don?t [A]be [E]sad
?Cause [D]two out of [E]three ain?t [A]bad
____________________________________

You?ll n[D]ever find your gold on a s[A]andy beach
You?ll n[D]ever drill for oil on a c[A]ity street
I know your l[D]ooking for a ruby in a m[A]ountain of rocks
But there [G]ain?t no Coupe de Ville
Hiding at the bottom of a [E]Cracker Jack box

I [C#m]can?t lie (I can?t lie)
I can?t tell you that I?m something[D] I?m not

No matter how I try
I?ll [C#m]never be able

To give you something
S[D]omething that I just haven?t got[E]

Play w/Rhth. Fig 1
Now there?s only one girl that I will ever love
And that was so many years ago
And though I know I?ll never get her out of my heart
She never loved me back, ohh I know

Well I remember how she left me on that stormy night
Oh she kissed me and got out of our bed
And though I pleaded and I begged her not to walk out that door
She packed her bags and turned right away
And she [D]kept on t[E]elling me
She kept[D] on telli[E]ng me
She k[D]ept [D]on t[E]elling me

CHORUS

[A]I want you (I want you)

Now d[D]on?t be[F#Maj] sad (D[D]on?t [A]be [E]sad cause)
?Cause [D]two out of t[E]hree ain?t [F#Maj]bad
I[A] want you (I want you)
[F#Maj]I need you (I need you)
But there[D] ain?t no [E]way I?m [C#m]ever gonna [F#Maj]love you
Now d[D]on?t be[F#Maj] sad (D[D]on?t [A]be [E]sad cause)

Now[D] don?t[A] be [E]sad
?Cause [D]two out of [E]three ain?t [A]bad

(Band tacet, piano only)

Baby we can talk all night
But that ain?t getting us nowhere
