C F G A Am Em
C
I couldn't hear him when he called to me
F
I couldn't hear him at all you see
C Am
He was down the road away from me
F G
How could I know his answer?
C
I couldn't hear him though he shouted hard
F
I couldn't hear him in my own backyard
C F
The trains were rattling by above
G C
We never mentioned love
C F
He may have held my hand when we were walking down the street
C Am F G F
He talked about all kinds of things but none of them were him and me
C F G C
He looked into my eyes just as an airplane roared above
F C
Said something about football but he never mentioned love
F C
I never heard him all the times he yelled
F C
I never heard him if he tried to tell me
Am G F
If my memory serves me well, He never mentioned love
Am C F
I never hurt him though he says I did. I never hurt him but I die a bit
Am G F Am G
Each time he passes on the street, he never mentions love
C F
I used to call him every night and pray that he was home
C Am F G F
I couldn't bear the feeling I might have to live my life alone
C F G C
But now my phone is off the hook, the word came from above
F C
It told me I was wasting time if he never mentioned love
Am G
I never heard him is he said he cared
F
I never heard him, I kept my claws bared
Am G
I never heard the things he says he said
F
He never mentioned he was scared
Am G
I never heard him when he asked for love
C
I never heard him as the skies above
Am G
Chucked buckets on the both of us
F Am G
He never mentioned love
(solo) C Am G F Em G F
C F G C
So if I seem hardhearted I would like the court to note
F C F
He never mentioned love to me in anything he wrote
C F C F
And if I seem coldblooded I should like to tell the judge
C Am F Em C
In all the time I knew this man he never spoke of love
Or if he did
F C
I never heard him when he called to me
F C
I never heard him at all you see
Am G F
He was down the line away from me He never mentioned LUV
Am G C
I never hurt him though he says I did, I never hurt him, I just die a bit
Am G C
Each time we meet upon the street, We never mention love
C F G G
