E                   B
Wandering hearts,
A              B
Ticking together,
         E           B
But always apart,
A                B                    E         B
Open the door and the future restarts,
A                       B                      E           B
But I'd never claim you were mine,
A                         B                           E           B
Just if we were words we would rhyme.

E                       B
Caution then regret,
A                   B     E                       B
A cowardly dog barking empty threats,
A
Backtracking,
B
Dancing,
E                          B
As patterns are set,
A                      B .                      E          B
But I'd never claim you were mine,
A                         B                         E          B
Just if we were words we would rhyme.

Send me round the globe and back again to you a flower.
Wheels come off and hobble over to the next replacement of choice.
But you were the sentence that gave me a voice,
Now I cry,
As we by the by.

E                             B
And I will always wonder,
A .                   B            E              B
How it would be if we never had met,
E                       B
Life would be easier,
A
But dull,
B
I suspect,
A                       B          E               B
I'd ask you to keep it discreet,
A                      B           E              B
So I'll sing a song of deceit,
A                       B                        E        B
And I'd never claim you were mine,
A                           B
Just if we were words,
                     E              B
We would rhyme,
A                  E
If we were words,
                    E          B
We would rhyme
