Message To My Girl

B/C#                   C#         
  I don't wanna say "I love you", 
B/C#                       C#
  that would give away too much
Bbm                F/A        
  It's hip to be detached and 
Bbm/Ab F/A  Bbm                  
precious      the only thing you 
Fdim/B  Eb
feel is vicious
B/C#                   C#         
  I don't wanna say "I want you"  
B/C#                        C#
  even though I want you so much
Bbm             F/A   Bbm/Ab  
  Wrapped up in conversation  
F/A  Bbm         Fdim/B  Eb
       whispered in a hush
           F#
Though I'm frightened by the word
             G#
I think it's time that it was heard

[Chorus]
        C#              F#   
No more empty self-possession  
          C#              G#m
visions swept under the mat
        E             F#          
It's no New Years Resolution   
            C#sus4   C#
it's more than that

  Now I wake up happy,   warm in
             C#
 a lovers embrace
Bbm      F/A      Bbm/Ab   F/A  
  No one else can touch us      
Bbm           Fdim/B  Eb
  while we're in this place
     F#
So I sing it to the world

[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...

Oh, there's nothing quite as real,
        C#                   G#m
 as the touch of your sweet hands
         E                F#      
I can't spend the rest of my life 
               C#sus4  C#
buried in the sand
