  This version was taken from the "Anniversary" album. Sounds great on the 

  piano; nearly impossible on the guitar.

  Cheers,

  Message To My Girl  - Split Enz

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  'Anniversary' version.

  

  Transcribed by John Kean (keanj@agresearch.cri.nz).

  

  

  INTRO:

  B/C#   C#   B/C#   C#  (x3)

   

  VERSE 1:

  B/C#                  C#         B/C#                      C#

   I don't wanna say "I love you",  that would give away too much

  Bbm      F/A         Fm/Ab  F/A  Bbm                 Fdim/B  Eb

   To be detatched and precious     the only thing you feel is vicious

  B/C#                  C#         B/C#                       C#

   I don't wanna say "I want you"   even though I want you so much

  Bbm      F/A         Fm/Ab  F/A  Bbm        Fdim/B  Eb

   Wrapped up in conversation       whispered in a hush

              F# 

   Though I'm frightened by the word

                G#

   I think it's time I made it heard

  

  CHORUS:

           C#           F#                C#              G#

   No more empty self-possession  visions swept under the mat

           E             F#                      C#sus4   C#

   It's no New Years Resolution   it's more than that

   

  VERSE 2:

   So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace

   Noone else can touch us while we're in this place

   So I sing it to the world 

   A simple message to my girl

   

  CHORUS

  

  SOLO: (verse chords)

   Though I'm frightened by the word

   I think it's time I made it heard

   So I'll sing it to the world

   A simple message to my girl

  

  CHORUS (x1, then...)

   No there's nothing quite as real as the touch of your sweet hand

   I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand

   

  INTERLUDE: (B/C#  C#  x12)

   Oh every night I hear you call my name

   I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom?)

   I have a mind to express my pain

   But I won't get back in your tomb

   I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone

   And every night seems the same song

   Same song...

   I will be humming in my sleep

   I don't wanna say

   I don't wanna say...

   

  OUTRO: (chorus chords)

   I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
