     E             B
I’ll whisper, I’ll scream
       D                      A
Either way you’ll remain in a dream
      E           B
But I foresee the day
         D               A
When the loneliness will start to 
decay
        E                    B
You can take for granted the seed 
I’ve planted
    D                   A
But soon that baby will grow
       E                  B
And in no time honey I’ll find this 
funny
