I Only Want To Talk To You

[Intro]
D
 
 
[Verse 1]
D
Someone saw, someone said
G              D
Slightly misconstrued
D                       B
All hell broke loose at midnight
      A
When I guess you got the news
          G                A
There's a dead bird on the sidewalk
D                      G
And I'm wishin' I was too
D                          D
And I only want to talk to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
D
There's tire marks on the concrete
           G              D
Where you spun out of the drive
D                          B
There's a hound dog in the corner
        A
Lookin' glad to be alive
          G                   A
And if the phone rings on the table
D                          G
Well I don't know what I'll do
                       D
I only want to talk to you
 
 
[Chorus]
      G      F#   Em
It's serious this time
                      D
What am I supposed to say
        G       F#   Em
Is it a test of some kind
                              G A B C#
Or a price I ought to have to pay
         G                A
Now it's upside down and backwards
    G                    D
The foot's on the other shoe
D
I only want to talk to you
D
I only want to talk to you
 
 
[Verse 3]
D
The neighbor kids across the street
    G                   D
Are pointing across the yard
D
And the social worker next door
G                       D
Dropped by and left her card
          G                A
But I don't want to talk to nobody
D                      G
About what we're going through
                       D
I only want to talk to you
                       D
I only want to talk to you
 
 
[Chorus]
      G      F#   Em
And it's serious this time
                      D
What am I supposed to do
        G       F#   Em
Walkin' a fine line
                            A   B   C#
Must've broken it clean in two
         G               A
Now it's upside down and backwards
    D                   G
The foot's on the other shoe
                           D
And I only want to talk to you
D
I only want to talk to you
 
 
[Verse 4]
D
There's a nice young man in a clean white shirt
G                       D
Ringing the front door bell
D                         B
I'm gonna hide out in the kitchen
A
And let that hound dog give him hell
 
 
[Outro]
          G                A
'Cause I don't want to talk about Jesus
     D                   G
Not even for a minute or two
D
I only want to talk to you
D
I only want to talk to you
D
I only want to talk to you
