A THOUSAND WORDS
(Savage Garden)
intro: Gm/Bb/F/C/Gm/Bb/F/C
Gm Bb F
we stumble in a tangled web decaying friendships almost dead
C
and hide behind a mask of lies
Gm Bb F
we twist and turn and we avoid all hope of salvage now devoid
C
i see the truth inside your eyes
Gm Bb F C
so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
Gm Bb F C
i'll bear the cost shed my skin call you up and then
i'll say the words out loud
Chorus:
Gm Bb
you could resurrect a thousand words
C F
to deceive me more and more
Gm Bb
a thousand words will give the reasons
C F
why i don't need you anymore
solo: Gm/Bb/F/C
Gm Bb F
time manipulates your heart preconceptions torn apart
C
begin to doubt my state of mind
Gm Bb F
but i won't go down on what i said i won't retract convictions read
C
i may perplex but i'm not blind
Gm Bb F C
so take all this noise into your brain and send it back again
Gm Bb F C
i'll bear the cost shed my skin call you up and then
i'll say the words out loud
(Chorus)
Gm Bb F C
i'll say the words out loud i'll say a thousand words or more
Gm Bb
manipulation fabrication conversation annihilation
F C
i'll say a thousand words or more
Gm Bb
damnation frustration elevation procreation
F C
i'll say a thousand words or more
(Chorus)

| Such a great song. I love with words Darren plays with in this song. Many of you have voiced what I belive this song is about already. It's very bitter and angry...very cathardic song. Must have been very theraputic to write. | |

| I love the imagery of this song...it's very powerful, and Darren has such eloquence. I think that deep down part of him he still loves her, but he knows it's over, and he's determined not to let himself be manipulated anymore. | |

| Sometimes, after a break-up, there's still hope of reconciliation. I think this song is about the moment when he realized there will be no reconciliation. It's too late. The relationship was too twisted to ever be "healthy" again. | |

| Such an amazingly written song about being disapointed and hurt by someone you used to care so much. | |

| I really enjoy the emotion of this song. I think it's about the fact that a relationship has fallen apart to a point beyond repair. | |

| Thats a very good take on it, but I believe this is a double meaning song like most of savage gardens' | |

| This song is definitely about telling someone that you've realized that you can no longer trust them anymore and no matter how many times the other person tells you (a thousand words) that you do need them, it's all lies. | |

| I think this song, like break me shake me, is about being manipulated, he's broken up with her, and looking back, he can see that she was just manipulating him for the duration of the relationship | |
