Lyrics by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John

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

G#
I don’t know why,
              C#  C#sus4 C#
I just know I do,
F#
I just can’t explain
        Fm       C#     G#   G#sus2
In this language that I use.

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

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

Chorus:
  Eb                       G#m 
     And there’s a word in Spanish
     E            F#
     I don’t understand.
                         Fm75-
     But I heard it in a film
              Bb7           B
     One time spoken by the leading man.
  Eb                   G#m 
     He said it with devotion,
        E             F#
     He sounded so sincere.
                               Fm75-
     And the words he spoke in Spanish
                 Bb7            B
     Brought the female lead to tears.
  C#           Ebm      C# B
     A word in Spanish,
  C#           Ebm      C#
     A word in Spanish.

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

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

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

Chorus:
  Eb                       G#m

     Brought the female lead to tears.
  C#           Ebm      C# B
     A word in Spanish,
  C#           Ebm
     A word in Spanish.

Bridge:
        G#m             C#7
   When manners make no difference,
          F#6
   And my gifts all lay undone.
     G#m
   I trade my accent in on chance
       F7              Bb
   And fall back on a foreign tongue.
