Am
Please listen closely
                                  Dm
I think you think you know what I want but you don’t
           E
To want to know me
                            Am
Is to ask me to ask you to tell but you won’t
          Dm
And so we sit here
            Am
And talk in circles
        E
Pointed politeness
            Am
Till we turn purple
                 Dm*
Oh really can we cut it all and break
              Am*
the walls and talk like we’ve been
              E
married forty years
           Am
And so we dance dear
                               Dm
Nose to nose but wanting to be mouth to mouth
          E
Give it a chance dear

Break the ice if there’s ice or at
Am
least ask me how
           Dm
Because we sit here
                Am
Both with this knowing
                  E
There’s something under
          Am
Forever growing
                  Dm*
Oh really can we cut it all and break the walls
         Am*
And not talk like we’re married fifty
E
years
        Am
If you love me love me love me
