Message to My Girl

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 detached 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
No one 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
