D5                       
Oh, I wish that you would call
              G5
We have not spoken since last fall
      C5           G5              D5
That smoky conversation's coming home
D5
Do I just read between your lines
              G5
Yeah it could be this winter wine
    C5             G5
So sweet upon my tongue tonight
                        D5
It recalls your tender eyes
       G5
And I need more than a whisper
         C5
So much more than a whisper
         G5    
It takes more than a whisper
    A5               D5
To wake this weary fool
            G5 
Oh give me more than a whisper
           C5
If you're saying I love you
              G5                  A5             D5
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
D5
And it's snowing up in the northlands
            G5
I read your warm words from the plains
          C5              G5
While the poets say that I should never
                         D5
Be thinking of you this way
D5
They say that I misread your lines
                   G5
Because I've been lonely all my life
           C5                  G5
And I'd be reaching for some silver
                               D5
And leave my heart out in the fire
            G5
And I need more than a whisper
        C5
So much more than a whisper
         G5
It takes more than a whisper
    A5               D5
To wake this weary fool
            G5
Oh give me more than a whisper
           C5            
If you're saying I love you
             G5              A5                 D5
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
 D5
Well I will drink my winter wine
           G5
When I get home I'll change my life
           C5              G5
I'll only whisper that I love you
                          D5
In those smoky bars at night
D5
And though the poets say I'm lonely
                   G5
There's still this woman here inside
         C5            G5
And I've never been a fool
                          D5
When my heart was on the line
            G5
Cuz I need more than a whisper
        C5
So much more than a whisper
         G5
It takes more than a whisper
    A5               D5
To wake this weary fool
           G5
Oh give me more than a whisper
           C5
If you're saying I love you
              G5                 A5             D5
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
