More Than a Whisper[D] - Nanci Griffith

How I [D]wish that you would call
We have not sp[G]oken since last fall
and that [C]smoky conver[G]sation's come and[D] gone
[D]Do I just read between your lines
Or could it [G]be this winter wine
So [C]sweet upon my [G]tongue tonight
It recalls your tender [D]eyes

And I [G]need more than a whisper
So much [C]more than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To [A]wake this weary [D]fool
Oh give me [G]more than a whisper
If you're [C]saying I love you
Cuz it's the [G]whispers that I've [A]never under[D]stood

[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 [D]way
[D]They say that I misread your lines
Because I've been [G]lonely all my life
And I'd be [C]reaching for some s[G]ilver
And leave my heart out in the [D]fire

And I need [G]more than a whisper
So much [C]more than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To [A]wake this weary [D]fool
Oh give me [G]more than a whisper
If you're [C]saying I love you
Cuz it's the [G]whispers that [A]I've never under[D]stood

[D]Well I will drink my winter wine
When I get [G]home I'll change my mind
I'll only [C]whisper that I [G]love you
In those smoky bars at [D]night
[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 [D]line

Cuz I need [G]more than a whisper
So much [C]more than a whisper
It takes [G]more than a whisper
To [A]wake this weary [D]fool
Oh give me [G]more than a whisper
If you're s[C]aying I love you
Cuz it's the [G]whispers that I've[A] never under[D]stood
