INTRO: B/C# C# B/C# C# (x3) VERSE 1: B/C# C# B/C# C# I don't 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 don't wanna say "I want you" even though I want you so much Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush F# Though I'm frightened by the word G# I think it's time I made it heard CHORUS: C# F# C# G# No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat E F# C#sus4 C# It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that VERSE 2: So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace Noone else can touch us while we're in this place So I sing it to the world A simple message to my girl CHORUS SOLO: (verse chords) Though I'm frightened by the word I think it's time I made it heard So I'll sing it to the world A simple message to my girl CHORUS (x1, then...) No there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand I can't 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 won't get back in your tomb I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone And every night seems the same song Same song... I will be humming in my sleep I don't wanna say I don't wanna say... OUTRO: (chorus chords) I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand \\\\ John Kean OO | ~~~~~~~~~ < ) keanj@agresearch.cri.nz \/ | `--
