by Bob Dylan

[Intro]
G

[Verse 1]

D
Seems like only yesterday
  Em
I left my mind behind
D
Down in the Gypsy Cafe
       Em
With a friend of a friend of mine
    D                            Am
She sat with a baby heavy on her knee
    D                                  Am
Yet spoke of life most free from slavery
     D                                Am
With eyes that showed no trace of misery
  D                               Am
A phrase in connection first with she
C D
I heard
     D7                         G
That love is just a four-letter word


[Verse 2]

           D
Outside a rambling store-front window
     Em
Cats meowed to the break of day
D
Me, I kept my mouth shut, too
         Em
To you I had no words to say
     D                             Am
My experience was limited and underfed
D                        Am
You were talking while I hid
       D                              Am
To the one who was the father of your kid
    D                       Am       C   D
You probably didn't think I did, but I heard
                                        G
You say that love is just a four-letter word


[Verse 3]

  D
I said goodbye unnoticed
               Em
Pushed towards things in my own games
         D
Drifting in and out of lifetimes
  Em
Unmentionable by name
D                                 Am
Searching for my double, looking for
   D                        Am
Complete evaporation to the core
         D                               Am
Though I tried and failed at finding any door
  D                                        Am
I must have thought that there was nothing more
C   D                                       G
Absurd than that love is just a four-letter word


[Verse 4]

         D
Though I never knew just what you meant
              Em
When you were speaking to your man
      D
I can only think in terms of me
    Em
And now I understand
      D                              Am
After waking enough times to think I see
         D                            Am
The Holy Kiss that's supposed to last eternity
     D                  Am
Blow up in smoke, its destiny
D                    Am
Falls on strangers, travels free
        D                             Am
Yes, I know now, traps are only set by me
      D                     Am
And I do not really need to be
C  D                                    G
Assured that love is just a four-letter word


[Verse 5]

           D
Strange it is to be beside you
     Em
Many years and tables turned
       D
You'd probably not believe me
     Em
If I told you all I've learned
    D                       Am
And it is very, very weird indeed
    D                      Am
To hear words like forever please
      D                                   Am
Those ships run through my mind, I cannot cheat
          D                                 Am
It's like looking in the teacher's face complete
  D                          Am          C  D
I can say nothing to you but repeat what I heard
                                G
That love is just a four-letter word
