When It Sings Elvis Costello
<i></i>D A/C# D/C Bm Bb A
[G] [F#m] [Em] [G] [F#m] [Em]
All the w[D]ords you say to [A/C#]me have m[D/C]usic in them
All the s[Bm]orrows and the j[Bb]oys, like m[A]agnetism
And a s[G]elfish boy lo[F#m]oks thr[Em]ough a prism
And s[C]ays what [Bm]is but n[Bb]ever [A]asks what [D]isn't
But a voice cont[Bm]ains many precious th[G]ings
It l[C#m]aughs and then it s[F#m]ings
And all the l[F(/D)]ies [F7] that we can t[Gm(/D)]ell
[Bb] [Bbsus4] [A+] [A6] [A-5]
e||----------------------|| B||-6---------6--7-------|| G||----8--------------8--|| D||----------------------|| A||----------------------|| D||-8*--------7*---------|| *let ring
To our foolish selves
Maybe th[D]is is the l[A/C#]ove song that [D/C]I refused to
Wr[Bm]ite her when I l[Bb]oved her l[A]ike I used to
And I f[G]ear my heart ma[F#m]y sp[Em]in and fracture
Like t[C]ears of s[Bm]tone f[Bb]alling fr[A]om a st[D]atue
But a voice cont[Bm]ains all that's true and f[G]alse
Then cr[C#m]ies for someone [F#m]else
And for some h[F(/D)]onest [F7] tendern[Gm(/D)]ess
[Bb]So [Bsus4]I m[A+]ust c[A6]onf[A-5]ess
All the wo[D]rds you say to m[A/C#]e have mu[D/C]sic in them
All the s[Bm]orrows and the j[Bb]oys, like m[A]agnetism
And a s[G]elfish boy lo[F#m]oks thr[Em]ough a prism
And s[C]ays what [Bm]is but n[Bb]ever [A]asks what [D]isn't
