[Verse 1]
   A
If walls could talk then I'm sure you'd hear
A
A whole lot of things that would make you cry, my dear
             E                    D
So ain't you glad, ooh, ain't you glad
                 A
That walls don't talk
                  C D E
No they never talk


[Verse 2]
   A
If doors could tell who turned the knobs
A
When he's away, working on his job
              E                         D
Now ain't you glad, oh, you ought to be glad
                 A
That doors don't talk
              C D E
No, they don't


[Verse 3]
             A
You know, if cars could say just who's been inside
A
And exactly whom has been taken for a ride
              E                            D
Now ain't you glad, I know you ought to be glad
                A
That cars don't talk
                  C  D E
Oh no, they don't talk

[Verse 4]
   A
If shoes could tell, tell where they've been
A
When you claim that you were visiting a friend
              E                  D
Now ain't you glad, oh ain't you glad
                 A
That shoes don't talk
                C D E
No, they just walk


[Verse 5]
           A
Well, in a world of trouble we'd be if things ever told on me
A
My love life would be through 'cos I'm guilty, how about you?
E
If things ever talked that way
         D
Ain't no telling what they might say
             E                           D
So ain't you glad, everybody ought to be glad
                  A
That things don't talk
                                    C D E
I tell you, they don't talk about you


[Outro]
       A
Oh I'm so glad
A
I'm so very glad
A
That things don't talk
A
