       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
