oh , i wish that you would call
G
we have not spoken since last fall
C G D
that smoky conversation’s coming home
D
do i just read between your lines
G
yeah it could 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 life
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
