Don’t Mean a Thing

Verse chords: G C G Em C G | chorus chords: C G (x3) D G | bridge chords: Em C D G, Em C D (3x)

[V1]

Let me draw you, Sophia, let me hang you on my wall

Just lay back baby, don’t say anything at all

Maybe I’m crazy, maybe I’m a fool

Or maybe I just ain’t got anything better to do

But I have a dream last night, lady

That you were back in town,

You gave me just one kiss, and then you said outloud

[C2]

Will you light the fire in me

Slide in sweet boy and kiss me

Say them words that don’t mean a thing

To me, yeah yeah, yeah yeah 

[V2]

Well I don’t know much about living and such

But maybe it’s time for a brand new start

Ali and Maria, Carrie and Sophia

Each one own a little piece of my heart

Do you remember baby, we were in my room

I leaned over and whispered to you

[C2]

Will you light the fire in me

Haven’t felt like this since 16

Say them words that don’t mean a thing

To me, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[B]

Baby how’s it going up north these days

Do you keep warm in the winter

Are you happy with what’s-his-name?

And baby how is Nashville, does it treat you well

And did you ever make peace with the guy that put you through hell?

Are you a famous artist yet, have you spread your wings?

Well I don’t know, no I don’t know, so I’ll just sing

[C3]

Will you light the fire in me

Haven’t felt like this since 16

Say them words that don’t mean a thing

Will you light the fire in me

Haven’t felt like this since 16

Say them words that don’t mean a thing

To me, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
