Message To My Girl - Split Enz
Tuning: Standard, E A D G B E
[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna
say "I love yo
u", that would
give away too
much
It's hip to be
detached and
precious,
The only thing
you feel is v
icious
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna
say "I want yo
u" even though
I want you so
much
It’s wrapped u
p in conversat
ion,
Whispered in a
hush
[Pre-Chorus]
Though I'm fri
ghtened by the
word
I think it's t
ime I made it
heard
[Chorus]
No more empty
self-possessio
n visions swep
t under the ma
t
It's no New Ye
ar's resolutio
n, it's more t
han that
[Verse 3]
Now I wake up
happy, warm in
a lover's emb
race
No one else ca
n touch us,
While we're in
this place
[Pre-Chorus]
So I sing it t
o the world
A simple messa
ge to my girl
[Chorus]
No more empty
self-possessio
n visions swep
t under the ma
t
It's no New Ye
ar's resolutio
n, it's more t
han that
[Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
Though I'm fri
ghtened by the
word
I think it's t
ime I made it
heard
So I'll sing i
t to the world
A simple messa
ge to my girl
[Chorus]
No more empty
self-possessio
n visions swep
t under the ma
t
It's no New Ye
ar's resolutio
n, it's more t
han that
[Outro]
No there's not
hing quite as
real as the to
uch of your sw
eet hand
I can't spend
the rest of my
life buried i
n the sand
