Only These Words Lyrics & Chords By Chris Cornell

In a castle down a long road
A little girl was born
To a king and to a queen and
Her mother's eyes welled with tears of joy

Staring at the tiny face
Of the miracle she made

She would say, "I love you."
She would say, "I love you."

The summer came and went, autumn rolled in
The trees all stripped to bone
Daddy's little girl in his arms while
They sit upon his throne

Who is that thief hiding in the dark?
Just the little girl who stole his heart

And he would say, "I love you."
He would say, "I love you."
He would say, "I love you."

With only these three words repeating
A simple greeting
But it's all we want to hear
And clever lips can be misleading
A tongue can fly away
And won't come down
But it's only these words
We need right now

Six o'clock am, her alarm rings out
Awoken from a dream
No more castle down a long road
And no more king and no more queens

But she's a princess nonetheless
And a handsome prince is what she'll get

And he will say, "I love you."
He will say, "I love you."
He will say, "I love you."
He will say, "I love you."
He will say, "I love you."
He will say, "I love you."
