Biography:
Del Amitri are a guitar-driven pop rock band that formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1980, internationally known for the 1995 melodic rock hit "Roll to Me". They came together at school as teenagers when Justin Currie (bass and vocals), James Scobbie (guitar and vocals) and Donald Bentley (guitar) formed a band in reaction against the rest of the 'rockers' in the school. The name was chosen deliberately because it didn't mean anything but sounded a bit like someone's name.

Here's the chord version of this song.
INTRO: D Em7 F#m7 Em7
D Em7 F#m7 A
VERSE 1:
D Em7
With the sweet drip of every raindrop
F#m7 Em7
Time brings you closer to me
D Em7
And with each new sign at every train-stop
F#m7 Em7 D Em7 F#m7 A
Another hour without you is consigned to history
D Em7
And with each tick of my alarm clock
F#m7 Em7
I get crazy for the days to get to you
D Em7
When I can hold you and kiss you and have you
F#m7 Em7
Instead of staring at some photo like a fool
PRE-CHORUS:
G Em7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight
G A D/A A7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
D G D
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7 G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
A A7 D
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
INTRO
VERSE 2:
D Em7
So this morning I picked up the paper
F#m7 Em7
In the useless descent of the rain
D Em7
While partners in heartbreak the whole world over
F#m7 Em7
Lie and cheat just the same
D Em7
And the headlines proclaim everything has changed
F#m7 Em7
Love can’t save you now
D Em7
As each little motion of my writswatch
F#m7 Em7
Holds up my faith somehow
PRE-CHORUS:
G Em7
But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight
G A D/A A7
When I think that I might not make it through
CHORUS:
D G D
But honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G Em7
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7 G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
A G A D A
To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name
BRIDGE:
G D
When I’ve used up all my patience
G D
When your letters have been read twenty times through
F#m7 G
I can drink all the wine in this place of mine
Em7 A
But it ain’t no replacement, it ain’t no replacement for
D F#m7 Bm7 A Em7 G A D A7
you.................
CHORUS:
D G D
'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name
G
To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same
Em7 G
And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do
A
To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say)
A D D
You know I only have to say your name....ooooh
OUTRO:
D Em7 F#m7 D Em7 F#m7
hooo... Oooh hooo.. You know I
D Em7 F#m7
Only have to say your name I only have to say your name
D Em7 F#m7
I only have to say your name, say your name, say your name,
D Em7 F#m7
Oooh yay yah...ay yah, ooooh ay yah, I only have, only have to
D Em7 F#m7
say your name, say your name, say your name, Wah wah wah wah wah
D Em7 F#m7
Whoa yah, whoa yah, whoa yah I only have to
F#m7 D
say-ayayay your name, name, name, name, name, name, name, name
Em7 F#m7 (fade out)
name, name, name, name Yah yah, yeah yah yah (etc.)
