I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT LOVE (Nanci Griffith)

----------------------------------------------

[Thanks to owent@aol.com for the chords; I cleaned up the lyrics and added

the tab at the end...]

[Actually in F#; capo 2. Each chord is one measure.]

[E=022100, B11 =x99800, A9 =x77600, A=x02220, Am=x02210.]

[Try varying A9 as x77607 and E as 022200, esp. at the end of the verse.]

intro; see tab at end

I don't wanna talk about love

'Cause I've heard it before, and it talks too loud

You can hear it in a disco midnight

Shouting

And I don't wanna think about it, think about it

Comes dressed in summer clothes

When you're traveling through the heart of the winter's cold

And I don't wanna talk about changes

Changes come of their own free will

And if you wanna talk about leavin'

Well you've always walked and you always will

And every time you talk about love

Well you talk about your yesterdays

Yesterday's washing away with this morning's rain

I don't wanna talk about it

'Cause love has a voice of its own

If all we do is try to outshout it, then the love is gone

'Cause I don't wanna talk about love now

I don't wanna talk about love now

Can't you hear the voice in my heart

It calls your name in the middle of the night

It's always been a quiet voice

When it's breaking up

I don't wanna talk about this love

This love was my saving grace

So can't I just say that I love you and we'll call it a day

'Cause I don't wanna talk about love now

I don't wanna talk about love now

repeat intro

E B11 A9 A9 E B11 A9 A9 E.
