Standard (EADGBE)

When you're quiet, but your eyes

Are saying everything I need to know

I want to burrow like a sparrow

Dodging alley cats and whiskers

Why do we talk in whispers?

Is it painful hearing voices ring

So early in the morning?

I've been waiting for the day

When I can throw away these numbers

That line my dresser drawers and cupboards

Start me over

Life seems so much slower

With your toothbrush by the mirror

Can I make it any clearer?

Chorus

And I just might say it tonight

I just might say it tonight

I just might tell you tonight

That I love you

And you should stay all my life

They'll tell you that you'll maybe make it

If you just cut your clothes and change your hair

But I won't fuss and moan

'bout what you wear

I feel so much better

When I read your dirty letters

Just wear your sweaters in the winter

'Cause I wonuldn't want you to get cold

I hope that we're together when we're old

I would have sold all my possessions

Never took piano lessons

But baby you're a grand

And I will learn to play the good notes

And tune you up the best I can

Chorus
