F#m
What if I rolled the dial to the right

Let the gravel in my voice

Drown out all the noise

With a whisper tonight
F#m
These thoughts that no one else should hear

Cut through my lips dance in your ear

Till light comes burning through that window pane

Your hair's painting that pillow case
D
Answer me baby with nothing but your body

Let the other side of these walls

The ups and downs of these halls (oh)

Hear what can start with a whisper

And what if that kitchen table gets wrecked
