----------------------------------------------------------------------- SOMETIMES I JUST HAVE TO SAY YOUR NAME - Del Amitri ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Tuning: Standard Here's the chord version of this song. INTRO: VERSE 1: With the sweet drip of every raindrop Time brings you closer to me And with each new sign at every train-stop Another hour without you is consigned to history And with each tick of my alarm clock I get crazy for the days to get to you When I can hold you and kiss you and have you Instead of staring at some photo like a fool PRE-CHORUS: But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight When I think that I might not make it through CHORUS: But honey sometimes I just have to say your name To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name INTRO VERSE 2: So this morning I picked up the paper In the useless descent of the rain While partners in heartbreak the whole world over Lie and cheat just the same And the headlines proclaim everything has changed Love can’t save you now As each little motion of my writswatch Holds up my faith somehow PRE-CHORUS: But as day turns to night there’s this hopelessness to fight When I think that I might not make it through CHORUS: But honey sometimes I just have to say your name To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do To keep the blues at bay you know I only have to say your name BRIDGE: When I’ve used up all my patience When your letters have been read twenty times through I can drink all the wine in this place of mine But it ain’t no replacement, it ain’t no replacement for you................. CHORUS: 'Cause honey sometimes I just have to say your name To hear it hanging in the air, to know it sounds the same And sometimes when I’m blue, I know just what to do To keep the blues at bay you (know I only have to say) You know I only have to say your name....ooooh OUTRO: hooo...
