B/C# I don't wanna say &quC#ot;I love yB/C#ou", that would giveC# 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# I don't wanna say &quC#ot;I want yB/C#ou" even though I waC#nt you so much Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush Though I'm F#frightened by the word I think it's G#time I made it heard

No more C#empty self-poF#ssession visions C#swept under the G#mat It's no ENew Years ResoF#lution it's more than C#sus4that 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 \\\\ John Kean OO | ~~~~~~~~~ < ) keanj@agresearch.cri.nz \/ | '--
