VERSE 1:

[B] I don't wanna say "I [C#]love you",
[B] that would give away too [C#]much
[Bbm] To be de[F]tatched and [Fm]preciou[F]s
[Bbm] the only thing you [Fdim]feel is [Eb]vicious
[B] I don't wanna say "I [C#]want you"
[B] even though I want you so [C#]much[Bbm] Wrapped [F]up in conver[Fm]sation [F] [Bbm] whispered [Fdim]in a hus[Eb]h
Though I'm [F#]frightened by the word
I think it's [G#]time I made it heard

CHORUS:

No more [C#]empty self-po[F#]ssession visions [C#]swept under the [G#]mat
It's no [E]New Years Reso[F#]lution it's more than [C#sus4]that[C#]

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
