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
