Bon Jovi – Love Ain’t Nothing But A Four Letter Word

Intro: Em C Em  
 
 Em  
She was waiting alone at the station praying for her train 
to arrive 
 C                                   Em  
Thinking 'bout her destination, the tattered bag had 
all she had in life 
 
She turned her back on her family,  she turned her back 
on her friends 
 C                                          Em  
She turned her back on a married man when she took off 
that wedding band  
  
              C      G    
She said, I'm giving up, silver clouds have turned to grey 
 Em       C          D  
Had enough, there's got to be a better way 
 Em      C   G  
Giving up, you know you've gotta walk 
       F                                G  
There's some things in life still worth fighting for 
 
 C                         F          C         
Ain't no big secret so forget all you heard 
 Am         C              F          C  
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word 
 C                         F                  C  
For some it's for better, for some it's for worse 
 Am         C              F           C  
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word 
 Am                G  Em  
Love aint' nothing... 
 
 Em                               
This time he said was the last time, 
last time he said just the same 
        C            
In your heart you know that they'll be a next time 
          Em  
That your battered bones would have to explain 
  
         C  G         
Givein' up, nothing's changing but the score 
 Em      C    D  
Had enough, every night love turns to war 
 Em      C   G  
Give it up, gave it all and wanted more 
 F                      G  
It ain't nothing worth dying for 

 C                        F            C  
It's no big secret so forget all you heard 
 Am         C             F           C  
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word 
    C                         F            C  
For some it's a blessing, for some it's a curse 
 Am          C            F          C  
Love ain't nothing but a four-letter word 
 Am          G  
Love ain't nothing... 
 
 Dm                              C  
Forget your mama's rosary beads to get you through 
this time of need 
 Am                           Am/G  
You know you gotta cross that line 
              F             G  
You take it one day at a time 
 
G Em }x2 
  
    C           G                          
Had enough, the silver clouds all turning grey 
 F                G  
I'm heading for a better day
