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
