[verse1]
Am          F
I wanted to follow you down
        G
To your well-furnished cave and to laugh at your art
Am          F
I wanted to tell you the truth
        G
But I'm always afraid that you'll be torn apart
Am    F          G
Oh       Say the word and I'll tell you you're wrong
Am    F          G                              Em    C    D
Oh       Say the word, I've been waiting for so long

[chorus]
D            Em    C    D
But when you talk,
D                  Em    C    D
there's nothing to hear
D          Em       C    D
I'm always changing,
D                 Em      C     D
you're too far or too near

[verse2]
Am          F
I wanted to tell her the truth
        G
But I'm always afraid that it's not in her heart
Am          F
I wanted to say how I felt
        G
But I'm always afraid that she'll stop when I start
Am   F          G
Oh      Say the word, when we're there at her home
Am   F          G                               Em    C    D
Oh      Say the word, 'cause I don't want to be alone

[chorus]
D            Em    C    D
But when she talks
D                Em    C    D
She's all that I hear
D         Em      C     D
How can I help it
D                  Em    C     D
You are always too near
