C G
if you had the real thing , how would you tell?

F
liars can say it all just as well

C G F
every single word you’ve heard in vain

C G
baubles of gold , stars in your hair

F
reflections that told you they were not there

C G F
and the diamonds on your cheeks have turned to flames

G C Am
and up in the air , they would write your name there

F G E Am
but love would fall to pieces in the rain

Am G G F
who would know better than you? a hundred love letters and none of them true

C G F
christina , oh – wah – oh , yeah

C G F
christina , oh – wah – oh , yeah

it’s a wondrous world of ridiculous things
with nothing so rare as the love that it brings
in the silence of a smile that understands
a piece of the action , pieces of gold
everyone’s paid well and does what they’re told
for the simple daughter of a simple man

and up in the air , they would write your name there
but love would fall to pieces in the rain
who would know better than you? a hundred love letters and none of them true
christina , oh – wah – oh , yeah
christina , oh – wah – oh , yeah

C G F
christina , oh – wah – oh – wah oh – wah , yeah

C G D F C
christina , oh – wah – oh – wah oh – wah , ye – E – ah
