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
