D                                            Bm
When you said you loved me, did you really love me or did the words just 
Bb                     A            D                          Bm
spill out like drool on my pillow. ‘Cause I was naked when you said those 
                     Bb                    A
words, but I felt covered in your whispered worship.

Bm                              Bb
