Verse 1

G          Cadd9

Saying I love you is

Am7             C       D         G

not the words I want to hear from you

G                Cadd9

It’s not that I want you

Am7            C      D    Em

not to say but if you only knew

Bm7   Am7

Ho-ow ea-sy

D              G      D/F#     Em

It would be to show me how you feel

Bm7       Am7       D7              G7

More than words  is all you have to do 

G7              C

To make it real

C         Cm              G

Then you wouldn’t have to say

          Em7

That you love me ‘cos

Am7     D7     G

I’d  already know

Chorus

G                 D/F#   Em        Bm      C

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

C                    G/B     Am7             D7                G

More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real

G                   D/F#  Em7        Bm7    C

What would you say if I took those words away?

C                     G/B      Am7

Then you couldn’t make things new

         D7             G

Just by saying I love you

Verse 2

G          Cadd9

Now that I’ve tried to 

Am7             C       D         G

Talk to you and make you understand

G                Cadd9

All that you have to do is

Am7            C               D          Em

Close your eyes and just reach out your hands

Bm7   Am7

And touch me

D              G      D/F#     Em

Hold me close don’t ever let me go

    Bm7      Am7

More than words

D7           G7                 C

Is all I ever needed you to show

C        Cm                   G

Then you wouldn’t have to say

                Em7

That you love me

Am7    D7           G

Cos I’d All Ready Know

G                 D/F#   Em        Bm      C

What would you do if my heart was torn in two

C                    G/B     Am7             D7                G

More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real

G                   D/F#  Em7        Bm7    C

What would you say if I took those words away?

C                     G/B      Am7

Then you couldn’t make things new

         D7             G

Just by saying I love you

“More Than Words” is a ballad written and originally performed by American rock band Extreme. It is built around acoustic guitar work by Nuno Bettencourt and the vocals of Gary Cherone (with harmony vocals from Bettencourt). Released in 1990 on the album Pornograffitti, the song is a detour from the funk metal style that permeates the band’s records. As such, it has often been described as “a blessing and a curse” due to its overwhelming success and recognition worldwide, but the band ultimately embraced it and plays it on every show. The song was described by Bettencourt as a song warning that the phrase “I love you” was becoming meaningless: “People use it so easily and so lightly that they think you can say that and fix everything, or you can say that and everything’s OK. Sometimes you have to do more and you have to show it—there’s other ways to say ‘I love you.’
