Oh, I w[D]ish that you would call
We have not sp[G]oken since last fall
That s[C]moky convers[G]ation's coming [D]home
[D]Do I just read between your lines
Yeah it could [G]be this winter wine
So s[C]weet upon my t[G]ongue tonight
It recalls your tender e[D]yes
And I n[G]eed more than a whisper
So much m[C]ore than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To w[A]ake this weary f[D]ool
Oh give me m[G]ore than a whisper
If you're s[C]aying I love you
Cuz it's the w[G]hispers that I've n[A]ever understoo[D]d
[D]And it's snowing up in the northlands
I read your [G]warm words from the plains
While the [C]poets say that [G]I should never
Be thinking of you this w[D]ay
[D]They say that I misread your lines
Because I've been l[G]onely all my life
And I'd be [C]reaching for some s[G]ilver
And leave my heart out in the f[D]ire
And I need m[G]ore than a whisper
So much [C]more than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To w[A]ake this weary f[D]ool
Oh give me m[G]ore than a whisper
If you're s[C]aying I love you
Cuz it's the [G]whispers that I[A]'ve never understo[D]od
W[D]ell I will drink my winter wine
When I get [G]home I'll change my life
I'll only w[C]hisper that I l[G]ove you
In those smoky bars at nig[D]ht
[D]And though the poets say I'm lonely
There's still this [G]woman here inside
And I've [C]never been a [G]fool
When my heart was on the l[D]ine
Cuz I need m[G]ore than a whisper
So much [C]more than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To w[A]ake this weary f[D]ool
Oh give me [G]more than a whisper
If you're s[C]aying I love you
Cuz it's the w[G]hispers that I've [A]never understo[D]od
