| Don't talk, | I will listen |
| D | Dmaj7 | |
| Don't talk, | you keep your distance, |
| G | D | Em | D | |
| For I'd | rather hear some tr | uth tonight than | entertain your | lies. |
| G | D | Em | A | |
| So | take your poison | silently. | Let me be. Let me close my | eyes. |
| D | Dmaj7 | |
| Don't talk, | I'll believe it |
| D | Dmaj7 | |
| Don't talk, | listen to me instead. |
| G | D | Em | D | |
| I | know that if you | think of it, both | long enough and | hard. |
| G | D | Em | A | |
| The | drink that you drown your | troubles in | is the trouble you're in | now. |
| Chorus |
| Em | D | A | Em | D | A | |
| (We will) | talk, talk, | talk a | bout it, You | talk as | if you | care. But |
| Em | D | A | D | G | |
| when your | talk is o | ver, tilt that | bottle in the air. |
| D | G | A | |
| Tossing | back more than your sh | are |
| D | Dmaj7 | |
| Don't talk, | I can guess it. |
| D | Dmaj7 | G | D | |
| Don't talk, | well, now you're restless and you | need somewhere to | put |
| Em | D | |
| the blame for | how you feel in | side. |
| G | D | Em | A | |
| You'll | look for a close and | easy mark and | you'll see me as fair | game. |
| Chorus |
| Em | D | A | |
| You | talk, talk, | talk about it, |
| Em | D | A | |
| You | talk as | if you c | are. |
| Em | D | A | D | G | |
| I'm | marking | every w | ord and I can | tell this time for sure | , |
| D | G | A | |
| Your talk is the | finest I have heard | . |
| So don't talk, I was sleeping |
| Don't talk, let me go on dreaming |
| How your eyes they glow so fiercely, |
| I can tell that you're inspired |
| By the name that you just chose for me. |
| Now what was it? |
| Oh, never mind it. |
| We will talk, talk, talk about this |
| When your head is clear. |
| I'll discuss this in the morning, |
| But until then |
| You may talk but I won't hear. |
