D Dmaj7 D Dmaj7
Don't talk, I will listen
D Dmaj7
Don't talk, you keep your distance,
G D Em D
For I'd rather hear some truth tonight than entertain your lies.
G D Em A
So take your poison silently. Let me be. Let me close my eyes.
D Dmaj7
Don't talk, I'll believe it
D Dmaj7
Don't talk, listen to me instead.
G D Em D
Iknow that if youthink of it, both long enough and hard.
G D Em A
The drink that you drown your troubles in is the trouble you're in now.
Chorus
Em D A Em D A
(We will) talk, talk, talk about it, You talk as if you care. But
Em D A D G
when your talk is over, tilt that bottle in the air.
D G A
Tossing back more than your share
D Dmaj7
Don't talk, I can guess it.
D Dmaj7 G D
Don't talk, well, now you're restless and you need somewhere to put
Em D
the blame for how you feel inside.
G D Em A
You'll look for a close and easy mark and you'll see me as fair game.
Chorus
Em D A
You talk, talk, talk about it,
Em D A
You talk as if you care.
Em D A D G
I'm marking every word and I can tell this time for sure,
D G A
Your talk is the finest I have heard.
So don't talk, I was sleeping
Don't talk, let me go on dreaming
How your eyes they glow so fiercely,
I can tell that you're inspired
By the name that you just chose for me.
Now what was it?
Oh, never mind it.
We will talk, talk, talk about this
When your head is clear.
I'll discuss this in the morning,
But until then
You may talk but I won't hear.
