                G 
Verse 1:        You can take the house and everything in it 
                Keep the diamond ring 'cause that's how I meant it 
                C                     D                     G 
                Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me 
                This material life with all it's value 
                Don't mean a thing to me without you 
                C                                  D 
                The love that we once had is all I need 
                   Am                                     D      
                So take everything we have if it makes ya happy 
                    Am                          F       D 
                But darlin' let me say before I leave 
                                 G 
                These sticks and stones 
                               Am 
                Ain't all that makes a home 
                           C            D 
                They don't have arms to hold you 
                               G         
                When love goes wrong 
                                        C  B  Am 
                Now you say that we are through 
                      C                     Am           
                These sticks and stones may break me 
                        C                   D                G       
                But the words you said just tore my heart in two

Verse 2:        Remember when we didn't have a dime between us 
                You took my hand and said we don't need much  
                Just as long as we're together we would be fine 
                Now we've acquired 
                All I thought would please you 
                I gave everything you know that I could 
                And still you're tellin' me you're not satisfied 
                So take everything we have if it makes ya happy 
                But darlin' let me say before I leave 
 
Chorus: 
 
End:            These sticks and stones may break me 
                But the words you said just tore my heart in two
