Intro: G C G
                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
Chorus:         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

8 Measure Break: G C G

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
