Am                                     Em
Don't go sending me those three dozen roses
Am                                 Em
Don't you know that just one rose will do
Am                                     Em
Don't go trying to put diamonds on my fingers
B                                     B7
Don't you know that I'm making money too

Don't go throwing those stones outside my window
You don't gotta be calling three times a day
'Cause if you do then when we get together
I'll be biting my lip 'cause there's nothing else left to say

Haven't you heard absence makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

         Am
Less is more 
        Em                       
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
                                       Am
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad
     Em
See we don't wanna go out like that
 Am
Less is more
                                      Em
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
                             B
If you want me to still be around
   B7
Remember

If you wanna be showing your affection
Don't you know a simple kiss will do
So many beautiful ways for love's expression
But I'm sorry to say your way ain't getting through

Haven't you heard a little space makes the heart grow fonder
Haven't you heard nothing good comes overnight
I'm telling you straight baby, just in case you wonder
It's turning me off, crowding me out its not right

Less is more 
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad
See we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

It would be something if I had a chance to be missing you
Too much for taking it's driving me crazy that's all you do
It needs rearranging It's so suffocating That I can't move
You gotta take two steps back Believe what they say It's true

Less is more 
Back it up slow it down let it breathe
Cause you too much of a good thing can be bad
See we don't wanna go out like that
Less is more
Pull it back, hold it down, chill it out
If you want me to still be around
Remember

 Am                   Em
Gimme a chance to miss you Boy I don't mean to diss you, 
 Am                         
but I tell you I need some space and still
      Em
you call me up three times a day
      Am
You know, baby you crowding me out 
 Em                        B    B7
Haven't you heard less is more
 
         Am              Em
Less is more, listen m' boy
         Am  Em
Less is more
