D
Oh, I wish that you would call
G
We have not spoken since last fall
C G D
That smoky conversation's coming home
D
Do I just read between your lines
G
Yeah it could be this winter wine
C G
So sweet upon my tongue tonight
D
It recalls your tender eyes
G
And I need more than a whisper
C
So much more than a whisper
G
It takes more than a whisper
A D
To wake this weary fool
G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C
If you're saying I love you
G A D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
D
And it's snowing up in the northlands
G
I read your warm words from the plains
C G
While the poets say that I should never
D
Be thinking of you this way
D
They say that I misread your lines
G
Because I've been lonely all my life
C G
And I'd be reaching for some silver
D
And leave my heart out in the fire
G
And I need more than a whisper
C
So much more than a whisper
G
It takes more than a whisper
A D
To wake this weary fool
G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C
If you're saying I love you
G A D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
D
Well I will drink my winter wine
G
When I get home I'll change my life
C G
I'll only whisper that I love you
D
In those smoky bars at night
D
And though the poets say I'm lonely
G
There's still this woman here inside
C G
And I've never been a fool
D
When my heart was on the line
G
Cuz I need more than a whisper
C
So much more than a whisper
G
It takes more than a whisper
A D
To wake this weary fool
G
Oh give me more than a whisper
C
If you're saying I love you
G A D
Cuz it's the whispers that I've never understood
