Lyrics:

Verse 1:

B/c# c# b/c# c#

I dont wanna say 'i love you', that would give away too much

Bbm f/a fm/ab f/a bbm fdim/b eb

To be detatched and precious the only thing you feel is vicious

B/c# c# b/c# c#

I dont wanna say 'i want you'even though I want you so much

Bbm f/a fm/ab f/a bbmfdim/b eb

Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush

F#

Though Im frightened by the word

G#

I think its time I made it heard



Chorus:

C# f# c# g#

No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat

E f# c#sus4c#

Its no new years resolutionits more than that



Verse 2:

So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace

Noone else can touch us while were in this place

So I sing it to the world

A simple message to my girl



Chorus



Solo: (verse chords)

Though Im frightened by the word

I think its time I made it heard

So Ill sing it to the world

A simple message to my girl



Chorus (x1, then...)

No theres nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand

I cant spend the rest of my life buried in the sand



Interlude: (b/c# c# x12)

Oh every night I hear you call my name

I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom? )

I have a mind to express my pain

But I wont get back in your tomb

I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why youre gone

And every night seems the same song

Same song...

I will be humming in my sleep

I dont wanna say

I dont wanna say...



Outro: (chorus chords)

I cant spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
