Pictured as a Slade song, or Def Leppard, ...well obviously we didn't *quite* hit either mark.

lyrics

FEAR THE WORD, LOVE

C# there’s a hesitation on the downstroke
F# a dread before she hits send
C# when the “l” word has been deleted
F# she reads it all over again

B there’s an icy roiling river,
F# a city block wide
C# it divides what’s left of her heart
F# from the cold wet clump of her pride

B E
fears the word
A F#
the word love
B E
Oh that word
A F# F#
the word la la la la la la la la la (etc.) ...two measures...

C# across town he’s sitting & wondering
F# precisely when he should call
C# doesn’t want to make the wrong impression
F# knows that need, can make a man small

B but that kiss they shared last Wednesday night
E (at 9th fret)
was an exquisitely delicate thing
C# you shoulda heard him Thursday morning
F# shaving and singing

B E
‘Bout the word,
A F#
the word love
B E
Still he fears
A F#
the word la la la la la la la la la
(add third measure of las)

B Yeah they’re locked out in their misery
E A
The purest feelings are just unspeakable
B
She would love, to
E
he would love, to too

F#m E
Just not enough
F#m
To overcome the fear
E
Of love

Bring it down…
E An impulse blooms between her shoulders
A She starts to dial feeling younger and older E And he’s still tasting that kiss when he
A
finally finds her on his phone
C# F#
And when they hear those busy signals
C# F#
...they fear the worst
n.c. (what do they fear?)

F# lalalalalalalala (2 measures)

A lalalalalalalalala (2 more measures)

D
Yeah they’re locked out in their misery
G C
The purest feelings are just unspeakable
D
She would love, to
G
he would love, to too

Am G
