[Verse 1]
Am Em
Don't go sending me those three dozen roses
Am Em
Don't you know that just one rose will do
Am Em
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
B7
Don't you know that I'm making money too
[Verse 2]
Am Em
Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
Am Em
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
Am Em
'Cause if you do then when we get together
B7
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder
Am Em
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
Am Em
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
B7
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right
[Chorus]
Am
Less is more
Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
Em
See we don't wanna go out like that
Am
Less is more
Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
B7
If you want me to still be around, remember
[Verse 3]
Am Em
If you wanna be showing your affection
Am Em
Don't you know a simple kiss will do
Am Em
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
B7
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em
Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder
Am Em
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
Am Em
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
B7
It's turning me off, crowding me out, it's not right
[Chorus]
Am
Less is more
Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
Em
See we don't wanna go out like that
Am
Less is more
Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
B7
If you want me to still be around, remember
[Bridge]
Am Em
It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Am Em
Too much for taking, it's driving me crazy, that's all you do
Am Em
It needs rearranging, it's so suffocating that I can't move
B7
You gotta take two steps back, believe what they say; it's true
[Chorus]
Am
Less is more
Em
Back it up, slow it down, let it breathe
Am
'Cause too much of a good thing can be bad
Em
Be so bad
Am
Less is more
Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
B7 Am
If you want me to still be around, remember
[Outro]
Em
Gimme a chance to miss you
Am
Boy, I don't mean to diss you, but
Em
I tell you I need some space and still you call me up three times a day
Am Em
You know, baby you crowding me out
B7
Haven't you heard less is more
Am
Less is more
Em
Listen to me boy
Am
Less is more
Em
