More than a whisper www.nancigriffith.com
       F                       
Oh, I wish that you would call

              F
We have not spoken since last fall

      F           F              F
That smoky conversation's coming home

F
Do I just read between your lines

              F
Yeah it could be this winter wine

    F             F
So sweet upon my tongue tonight

                        F
It recalls your tender eyes

       F
And I need more than a whisper

         F
So much more than a whisper

         F    
It takes more than a whisper

    D               F
To wake this weary fool

            F 
Oh give me more than a whisper

           F
If you're saying I love you

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

F
And it's snowing up in the northlands

            F
I read your warm words from the plains

          F              F
While the poets say that I should never

                         F
Be thinking of you this way

F
They say that I misread your lines

                   F
Because I've been lonely all my life

           F                  F
And I'd be reaching for some silver

                               F
And leave my heart out in the fire

            F
And I need more than a whisper

        F
So much more than a whisper

         F
It takes more than a whisper

    D               F
To wake this weary fool

            F
Oh give me more than a whisper

           F            
If you're saying I love you

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

 F
Well I will drink my winter wine

           F
When I get home I'll change my life

           F              F
I'll only whisper that I love you

                          F
In those smoky bars at night

F
And though the poets say I'm lonely

                   F
There's still this woman here inside

         F            F
And I've never been a fool

                          F
When my heart was on the line

            F
Cuz I need more than a whisper

        F
So much more than a whisper

         F
It takes more than a whisper

    D               F
To wake this weary fool

           F
Oh give me more than a whisper

           F
If you're saying I love you

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