E
When you're quiet, but your eyes
                Am
Are saying everything I need to know

I want to burrow like a sparrow
         C
Dodging alley cats and whiskers
    Bb
Why do we talk in whispers?
      F
Is it painful hearing voices ring
   G
So early in the morning?


E
I've been waiting for the day
                   Am
When I can throw away these numbers

That line my dresser drawers and cupboards
         C
Start me over
            Bb
Life seems so much slower
           F
With your toothbrush by the mirror
        G
Can I make it any clearer?

Chorus:
C                 G           F
And I just might say it tonight
C              G        F
I just might say it tonight
C              G          F
I just might tell you tonight
            C
That I love you
                G              F
And you should stay all my life


E
They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it
                       Am
If you just cut your clothes and change your hair

But I won't fuss and moan
               C
'bout what you wear
         Bb
I feel so much better
         F
When I read your dirty letters
                 G
Just wear your sweaters in the winter
E
'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold
                    Am
I hope that we're together when we're old

I would have sold all my possessions
       C
Never took piano lessons
      Bb
But baby you're a grand
            F
And I will learn to play the good notes
     G
And tune you up the best I can

Chorus:
