Verse
- KB Riff 2 plays over the verse but without the high slide notes (“/9” and “/11”)
Stop telling me what you want me to hear
Stop telling me what you want me to fear
Stop trippin on something you overheard
Love is winning without a word
Stop giving me your wishlist
Love is free from all this
Chorus
Ab(addBb) Bbm
Like a bird flying over the hilltop
Cm Bbm9
Love is like a bird you know it never stops
Ab(addBb) Bbm
From the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks
Cm C7
Love is whatever, whatever you want it to be
