Those Sweet Words - Norah Jones

Great thanks to Serbian Vladimir, who created an excellent
starting point for this transcription.

The chords would be slightly improved in this version.

Good luck!

Intro:

 ()   ()  
     

             
What did you say
         ()  
I know I saw you     singing
             () 
But my ears won't stop  ringing
                
Long enough to hear
            
Those sweet words
              
What did you say


End of the day
The hour hand has spun
But before the night is done
I just have to hear
              
Those sweet words
                  
Spoken like a melody


         
All your love
              ( )
Is a lost balloon
       *          (b5)  *
Rising up through the after - noon
                                 **   
'Til it could fit on the head of a pin

Come on in
Did you have a hard time sleeping
'Cause the heavy moon was keeping
Me awake and all I know
Is I'm just glad to see you again

Bridge (same as intro)

See my love
Like a lost balloon
Rising up through the afternoon
And then you appeared

What did you say
I know what you were singing
But my ears won't stop ringing
Long enough to hear
Those sweet words
And your simple melody

                
I just have to hear
           
Your sweet words
                  
Spoken like a melody
          
I just wanna hear
                  
Those sweet words...
