[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
Someone saw, someone said
Slightly misconstrued
All hell broke loose at midnight
When I guess you got the news
There's a dead bird on the sidewalk
And I'm wishin' I was too
And I only want to talk to you
There's tire marks on the concrete
Where you spun out of the drive
There's a hound dog in the corner
Lookin' glad to be alive
And if the phone rings on the table
Well I don't know what I'll do
I only want to talk to you
It's serious this time
What am I supposed to say
Is it a test of some kind
Or a price I ought to have to pay
Now it's upside down and backwards
The foot's on the other shoe
I only want to talk to you
I only want to talk to you
The neighbor kids across the street
Are pointing across the yard
And the social worker next door
Dropped by and left her card
But I don't want to talk to nobody
About what we're going through
I only want to talk to you
I only want to talk to you
