A popular love-ballad, "More Than Words" topped the charts around the world in 1990 and has since been covered by Westlife and parodied on TV shows. It's been a tricky one to work out as parts are sung in duet, so I focused on the notes of the lead singer - I hope you enjoy the music notes below :)
B-^D ^D-B ^E-^D ^D
Saying "I love you"
^D ^D ^E ^D
Are not the words
^D ^D ^D-^E ^D ^C ^D
I want to hear from you...
B B ^D ^D-B ^E-^D ^D
It's not that I want you
^D ^D ^D
Not to say,
^D ^D ^D-^E ^D-^C B
But if you only knew
A-B ^C-B-A ^D ^E ^D
How easy it would be
^C B B B ^D ^G-^F#-^G
To show me how you feel ~
^E ^E ^E-^C
More than words
^C ^F# ^F# ^E ^F#-^G ^F
Is all you have to do
^F ^F ^G-F ^F-^E
To make it real...
^D ^C ^G-^D#
Then you wouldn't
^D ^C ^C-^D-^C-B
Have to say ~ ~
B B ^D ^D-^E
That you love me
^E ^E ^C-^F#-^D ^G
'Cause I'd already know...
B ^A ^G ^E-^F#
What would you do
^D ^C ^A ^G ^A ^A-^B ^G
If my heart was torn in two
^E ^E ^E ^E ^E-^D ^C ^E-^D-^E
More than words to show you feel ~
^E ^E ^F# ^F# ^F# ^E-^D ^D
That your love for me is real
B ^A ^G ^E-^F#
What would you say
^D ^C ^A ^G ^A ^A-^B-^G
If I took those words away ~
^E ^E ^E-^E ^E-^D ^C ^E
Then you couldn't make things new
^E ^E ^F#-^F# ^F# ^F#-^G ^G
Just by saying " I love you "
^C B A B ^C ^D ^E ^D ^C B
La di da, da di da, di dai dai da
^D ^F#-^G ^G
More than words
^C B A B ^C ^D
La di da, da di da
B ^D ^D-B ^E-^D ^D
Now that I've tried to
^D ^E ^D
Talk to you
^D ^D ^D-^E ^D-^C-^D
And make you understand...
B-^D ^D-B ^E ^D ^D
All you have to do
^D ^D ^E ^D
Is close your eyes
^D ^D ^D-^E ^D ^C-B B
And just reach out your hands
A-B ^C ^C-B-A
And touch me
^D ^E ^D
Hold me close
^C-B B-B B ^D ^G
Don't ever let me go....
^E ^E ^E-^C
More than words
^C ^F# ^F# ^E-^F#-^G
Is all I ever
^F-^ ^F ^G-F ^F-^E
Needed you to show
^D ^C ^G-^D# ^D ^C ^C-^D-^C-B
Then you wouldn't have to say ~ ~
B B ^D ^D-^E
That you love me
^E ^E ^C-^F#-^D ^G
'Cause I'd already know...
B ^A ^G ^E-^F#
What would you do
^D ^C ^A ^G ^A ^A-^B ^G
If my heart was torn in two
^E ^E ^E ^E ^E-^D ^C ^E-^D-^E
More than words to show you feel ~

That your love for me is real
