Split Enz – Message To My Girl (Guitar)

B                       C#
  I don't wanna say "I love you"

B                           C#
  That would give away too much

Bbm                 F7/A       Bbm7     F7/A
   It's hip to be detached and precious,

Bbm                   Bbmadd9 Eb
   The only thing you feel is vicious

B                      C#
  I don't wanna say "I want you"

B                           C#
  Even though I want you so much

Bbm              F7/A  Bbm7   F7/A
   Wrapped up in conversation,

Bbm          Bbmadd9 Eb
   whispered in a    hush

           F#
Though I'm frightened by the word

             G#             G#7
I think it's time I made it heard

        C#           F#                C#              G#m
No more empty self-possession, visions swept under the mat

        E              F#                      C#  C#sus4  C#
It's no New Year's Resolution, it's more than that

B               C#
  Now I wake up happy

B                      C#
  Warm in a lover's embrace

Bbm        F7/A     Bbm7     F7/A
    No one else can touch us

Bbm7            Bbmadd9 Eb
    while we're in this place

     F#
So I sing it to the world

         G#            G#7
A simple message to my girl

        C#           F#                C#              G#m
No more empty self-possession, visions swept under the mat

        E              F#                      C#  C#sus4  C#
It's no New Year's Resolution, it's more than that

           F#
Though I'm frightened by the word

             G#             G#7
I think it's time I made it heard

        F#
So I'll sing it to the world

         G#            G#7
A simple message to my girl

        C#           F#                C#              G#m
No more empty self-possession, visions swept under the mat

        E              F#                      C#  C#sus4  C#
It's no New Year's Resolution, it's more than that

            C#               F#          C#                  G#m
No, there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand

        E                 F#                     C#  C#sus4  C#
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand

B                   C#
  Oh, every night I hear you call my name

B                  C#
  I wanna sleep in my dark bedroom

B                    C#
  I have a mind to express my pain

B                 C#
  But I won't get back in your tomb

B                       C#
  I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone

B                 C#
  And every night seems the same song

B              C#
  Same song...

B              C#
  I will be humming in my sleep

B                C#
  I don't wanna say

B                C#
  I don't wanna say...

        E                 F#                     C#  C#sus4  C#
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
