Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John


Intro: C# F# | B F#  } 2 times

C#
I don’t know why,
              F#  F#sus4 F#
I just know I do,
B
I just can’t explain
        Bbm      F#/Bb  C#   C#sus2
In this language that I use.

C#
Something leaves me speechless,
                     F#      F#sus4 F#
Each time that you approach.
     B
Each time you glide right through me
   Bbm  F#/Bb C#
As if I was a ghost.

                   B/F# F#
   If I only could tell you,
                     C#/G# G#
   If you only would listen,
              Bbm     B      C#     Eb
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
              B       F#/Bb        C#
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
  G#/Eb                    C#m/E
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     A            B
     I don’t understand.
                         Bbm75-
     But I heard it in a film
              Eb7/G         E
     One time spoken by the leading man.
  G#/Eb                C#m/E
     He said it with devotion,
        A             B
     He sounded so sincere.
                               Bbm75-
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
                 Eb7/G          E
     Brought the female lead to tears.
  F#           G#m      F# E
     A word in Spanish,
  F#           G#m      F#
     A word in Spanish.

   C#
If you can’t comprehend,
              F#
Read it in my eyes.
   B
If you don’t understand it’s love
Bbm  F#/Bb   C#     C#sus2
In a thin disguise.

    C#
And what it takes to move you,
                     F#    F#sus4 F#
Each time that you resist,
   B
Is more than just a pretty face
   Bbm        F#/Bb C#
To prove that I exist.

                   B/F# F#
   If I only could tell you,
                     C#/G# G#
   If you only would listen,
              Bbm     B      C#     Eb
   I’ve got a line or two to use on you,
              B       F#/Bb        C#
   I’ve got a romance we could christen.

Chorus:
  G#/Eb                    C#m/E
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     A            B
     I don’t understand.
                         Bbm75-
     But I heard it in a film
              Eb7/G         E
     One time spoken by the leading man.
  G#/Eb                C#m/E

        A             B
     He sounded so sincere.

     And the words he spoke in Spanish
                 Eb7/G          E
     Brought the female lead to tears.
  F#           G#m      F# E
     A word in Spanish,
  F#           G#m
     A word in Spanish.

Bridge:
        C#m             F#7
   When manners make no difference,
          B6
   And my gifts all lay undone.
     C#m
   I trade my accent in on chance
       Bb7             Eb
   And fall back on a foreign tongue.
