[verse1]
A5          F5
I wanted to follow you down
        G5
To your well-furnished cave and to laugh at your art
A5          F5
I wanted to tell you the truth
        G5
But I'm always afraid that you'll be torn apart
A5    F5          G5
Oh       Say the word and I'll tell you you're wrong
A5    F5          G5                              E5    C5    D5
Oh       Say the word, I've been waiting for so long

[chorus]
D5            E5    C5    D5
But when you talk,
D5                  E5    C5    D5
there's nothing to hear
D5          E5       C5    D5
I'm always changing,
D5                 E5      C5     D5
you're too far or too near

[verse2]
A5          F5
I wanted to tell her the truth
        G5
But I'm always afraid that it's not in her heart
A5          F5
I wanted to say how I felt
        G5
But I'm always afraid that she'll stop when I start
A5   F5          G5
Oh      Say the word, when we're there at her home
A5   F5          G5                               E5    C5    D5
Oh      Say the word, 'cause I don't want to be alone

[chorus]
D5            E5    C5    D5
But when she talks
D5                E5    C5    D5
She's all that I hear
D5         E5      C5     D5
How can I help it
D5                  E5    C5     D5
You are always too near
