[Intro]
G C G
[Verse 1]
G
You can take the house and everything in it
G
Keep the diamond ring 'cause that's how I meant it
C D G
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me
G
This material life with all it's value
G
Don't mean a thing to me without you
C D
The love that we once had is all I need
Am D
So take everything we have if it makes ya happy
Am D
But darlin' let me say before I leave
[Chorus]
G
These sticks and stones
Am
Ain't all that makes a home
C D
They don't have arms to hold you
G
When love goes wrong
G C
Now you say that we are through
C Am
These sticks and stones may break me
C D G
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
G C G
[Verse 2]
G
Remember when we didn't have a dime between us
G
You took my hand and said we don't need much
C D G
Just as long as we're together we would be fine
G
Now we've acquired all I thought would please you
G
I gave everything you know that I could
C D
And still you're tellin' me you're not satisfied
Am D
So take everything we have if it makes ya happy
Am D
But darlin' let me say before I leave
[Chorus]
G
These sticks and stones
Am
Ain't all that makes a home
C D
They don't have arms to hold you
G
When love goes wrong
G C
Now you say that we are through
C Am
These sticks and stones may break me
C D G
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
(Outro)
C Am
These sticks and stones may break me
C D G
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
