INTRO: D Em7 F#m7 Em7 D Em7 F#m7 A VERSE 1: D Em7 With the sweet drip of every raindrop F#m7 Em7 Time brings you closer to me D Em7 And with each new sign at every train-stop F#m7 Em7 D Em7 F#m7 A Another hour without you is consigned to history D Em7 And with each tick of my alarm clock F#m7 Em7 I get crazy for the days to get to you D Em7 When I can hold you and kiss you and have you F#m7 Em7 Instead of staring at some photo like a fool PRE-CHORUS: G Em7 But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight G A D/A A7 When I think that I might not make it through CHORUS: D G D But honey sometimes I just have to say your name G Em7 To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same Em7 G And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do A G A D To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name INTRO VERSE 2: D Em7 So this morning I picked up the paper F#m7 Em7 In the useless descent of the rain D Em7 While partners in heartbreak the whole world over F#m7 Em7 Lie and cheat just the same D Em7 And the headlines proclaim everything has changed F#m7 Em7 Love can’t save you now D Em7 As each little motion of my writswatch F#m7 Em7 Holds up my faith somehow PRE-CHORUS: G Em7 But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight G A D/A A7 When I think that I might not make it through CHORUS: D G D But honey sometimes I just have to say your name G Em7 To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same Em7 G And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do A G A D A To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name BRIDGE: G D When I’ve used up all my patience G D When your letters have been read twenty times through F#m7 G I can drink all the wine in this place of mine Em7 A But it ain’t no replacement, it ain’t no replacement for D F#m7 Bm7 A Em7 G A D A7 you................. CHORUS: D G D 'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name G Em7 To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same Em7 G And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do A To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say) A D D You know I only have to say your name....ooooh OUTRO: D Em7 F#m7 D Em7 F#m7 hooo...
