C Em Am C
Talk is cheap, and I should know
F C F G
I've given my everything, and it wasn't close
C Em Am C
People mean well, but still make a mess
F C F G C
From now on I'm listening, and saving my breath
C F
Lately I'm losing my appetite
C F
For all the pretty young girls and the socialites
C
Who just talk
F C
And this is what we do, we just talk
C F
Watch 'em waste breath on a magazine
C F
Or rehash what the television shows all mean
C
It's just talk
F C
And this is what we do, we just talk
F
Some people don't know how they really feel
C
Some people won't talk about what is real
F Am
And I could never chitchat all day long
F
Some people just look for an open ear
C
Some people don't care what you want to hear
D G
And everybody's talking while they're stringing me along
C E F
I'll go by what you do
G C
Cause talk is cheap
E F
And I don't want to wait for you
G Am
Cause talk is cheap
Dm Am
I don't know how you spend your time
Dm C
But I'm done wasting all of mine
G C G B-H-C
Cause talk is cheap
Lately I'm tired of politics
And listening to the neverending arguments
That just stall
And this is what we do, we just stall
Never know someone to change their mind
After a heated debate over the moral lines
We just crossed
But this is what we do, we just talk
Some people get cute and they draw the line
Some people won't choose over left and right
And I could never stomach all that greed
Some people don't care enough
Some people get scared enough
To get talked into something that they think they should believe
I'll go by what you do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
F
Some people, some people, some people
Am
Think action is overdue
F
Some people, some people, some people
Am G
Can't wait, we've got work to do
(same as chorus)
I only speak of what I've done
Cause talk is cheap
And if you're listening, everyone
But you talk when you're talking to me
I'll go by what to do
Cause talk is cheap
And I don't want to wait for you
Cause talk is cheap
I don't know how you spend your time
But I'm done wasting all of mine
Cause talk is cheap
Enjoy !
