[Verse 1]
A#m                     F#                                 C#
Falling down the seats in the back of my car
A#m                                 F#                                                 C#
Got nowhere to be ’cause the world don’t know where we are
A#m                                                 F#                                                 C#
Three A.M. and you’re in my arms, all the drinks still wearing off
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
You look to me like I said something wrong, mmmh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
F#                                 C#
‘Cause I opened my mouth
G#
Now, we’re both just sat in silence
F#                 C#                 G#
Frozen by three little words
F#                                 C#                                 G#
And there was something behind those eyes

She was hiding
F#                 C#                                 G#
She said, “I don’t want this to hurt”

[Chorus]
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
Just don’t say love, say love, say love, say love, no
A#m                                 F#                                                 C#
I’ve heard that word misused a thousand times before
A#m                                                 F#
I know that we don’t have to dive in
C#
‘Cause we got all of the time in the world
A#m                 F#                                 C#
To say love, say love, say love, say love

[Verse 2]
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
Heart disappeared from a sleeve, I should’ve known
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
It’s still way too early to see where this could go
A#m                                                 F#
She said, “I’m not tryna be difficult
C#
And I’ve just never felt this before
A#m                 F#                                 C#
I’m scared we might lose it all”, mmh

[Pre-Chorus 2]
F#                                 C#                                                 G#
And closed it, that moment I found a silver lightning
F#                 C#                 G#
All I’ve been looking for
F#                                 C#                                 G#
‘Cause there was something behind those eyes

That she was hiding
F#                 C#                                 G#
She said, “It’s nothing personal”

[Chorus]
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
Just don’t say love, say love, say love, say love, no
A#m                                 F#                                 C#
I’ve heard that word misused a thousand times before
A#m                                                 F#
I know that we don’t have to dive in
C#
‘Cause we got all of the time in the world
A#m                                 F#                 C#
To say love, say love, say love, say love
A#m                 F#                                 C#
So don’t say love, say love, say love, say love

[Bridge]
D#m                                 F#
I’m not gonna run away
A#m
I’m not the type to leave you
C#
On your own, on your own, all on your
D#m
I finally get what you’re tryna say

[Alt. Chorus]

To say love, say love, say love, say love
