(intro) 
 
E               D            A       A 
  Don't mean to get a little forward with you 
E               D            A         A 
  Don't mean to get ahead of where we are 
E               D            A        A 
  Don't mean to act a little nervous around you 
      E             D         A        A 
  I'm just a little nervous about my heart 
 
D             E             A         A 
  It's been a while since I felt this feeling 
D           E          A       A 
  That everything that you do gives me 
D               E          A          A 
  It's been too long since somebody whispered 
D      E   A            A 
  Woooooo, shut up and kiss me 
E  D  A  A    E  D  A  A 
(instrumental) 
 
Didn't expect to be in this position 
Didn't expect to have to rise above 
My reputation for cynicism 
I've been a jaded lady when it comes to love 
 
But, oh baby, just to feel this feeling 
That everything that you do gives me 
It's been too long since somebody whispered 
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me 
 
B         B                   B       B 
  There's something 'bout the silent type 
D            E      A   A 
  Attracting me to you 
B     B               B            B 
  All business, baby, none of the hype 
D         D          D       E   D   A   A     E  D  A  A 
  That no talker can live up too-ooo-ooo (guitar solo) 
E  D  A  A    E  D  A  A 
(guitar solo) 
E  D  A  A    E  D  A  A    E  D  A  A   E  D  A  A 
(piano solo) 
 
Come closer baby, I can't hear you 
Just another whisper, if you please 
Don't worry 'bout the details, darling 
You've got the kind of mind I love to read 
 
Talk is cheap and baby, time's expensive 
So why wait another minute more 
Life's too short to be so apprehensive 
Love's as much the symptom, darling, as the cure 
 
Oh, baby, when I feel this feeling 
It's like the genuine voodoo hits me 
It's been too long since somebody whispered 
Wooooo, hooooo 
 
Oh baby, I can feel this feeling 
That everything that you do gives me 
It's been too long since somebody whispered 
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me 
Wooooo, hooooo 
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me

(Actually, at a recent concert (August 1996), Chapin played this song 
 with simple chord shapes: B7 (x21202), A (x02220), and E (022100). 
 So do whichever works best for you.)
