Chords with lyrics
Nanci Griffith
D MajorD
Oh, I wish that you would call
G+G
We have not spoken since last fall
D MajorD
That smoky conversation's coming home
D MajorD
Do I just read between your lines
G+G
Yeah it could be this winter wine
G+G
So sweet upon my tongue tonight
D MajorD
It recalls your tender eyes
G+G
And I need more than a whisper
C majorC
So much more than a whisper
G+G
It takes more than a whisper
D MajorD
To wake this weary fool
G+G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C majorC
If you're saying I love you
D MajorD
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
D MajorD
And it's snowing up in the northlands
G+G
I read your warm words from the plains
G+G
While the poets say that I should never
D MajorD
Be thinking of you this way
D MajorD
They say that I misread your lines
G+G
Because I've been lonely all my life
G+G
And I'd be reaching for some silver
D MajorD
And leave my heart out in the fire
G+G
And I need more than a whisper
C majorC
So much more than a whisper
G+G
It takes more than a whisper
D MajorD
To wake this weary fool
G+G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C majorC
If you're saying I love you
D MajorD
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
D MajorD
Well I will drink my winter wine
G+G
When I get home I'll change my life
G+G
I'll only whisper that I love you
D MajorD
In those smoky bars at night
D MajorD
And though the poets say I'm lonely
G+G
There's still this woman here inside
G+G
And I've never been a fool
D MajorD
When my heart was on the line
G+G
Cuz I need more than a whisper
C majorC
So much more than a whisper
G+G
It takes more than a whisper
D MajorD
To wake this weary fool
G+G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C majorC
If you're saying I love you
D MajorD
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
