Chords

       D
How I wish that you would call

              G
We have not spoken since last fall

          C           G                D
and that smoky conversation's come and gone

D
Do I just read between your lines

            G
Or could it be this winter wine

    C             G
So sweet upon my tongue tonight

                        D
It recalls your tender eyes

       G
And I need more than a whisper

         C
So much more than a whisper

         G
It takes more than a whisper

    A               D
To wake this weary fool

            G
Oh give me more than a whisper

           C
If you're saying I love you

              G                  A             D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood

D
And it's snowing up in the northlands

            G
I read your warm words from the plains

          C              G
While the poets say that I should never

                         D
Be thinking of you this way

D
They say that I misread your lines

                   G
Because I've been lonely all my life

           C                  G
And I'd be reaching for some silver

                               D
And leave my heart out in the fire

            G
And I need more than a whisper

        C
So much more than a whisper

         G
It takes more than a whisper

    A               D
To wake this weary fool

            G
Oh give me more than a whisper

           C
If you're saying I love you

             G              A                 D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood

 D
Well I will drink my winter wine

           G
When I get home I'll change my mind

           C              G
I'll only whisper that I love you

                          D
In those smoky bars at night

D
And though the poets say I'm lonely

                   G
There's still this woman here inside

         C            G
And I've never been a fool

                          D
When my heart was on the line

            G
Cuz I need more than a whisper

        C
So much more than a whisper

         G
It takes more than a whisper

    A               D
To wake this weary fool

           G
Oh give me more than a whisper

           C
If you're saying I love you

              G                 A             D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
