Lyrics

G bb c :|

Verse 1:
Bb c g
In the dark, I like to read his mind
Bb c g
But I'm frightened of the things I might find
Bb f
Oh, there must be something he's thinking of
G
To tear him away
Bb f
When I tell him that I'm falling in love
G
Why does he say

*** chorus:
Am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
Am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry
F
Uh-uh

*** verse 2:
I try so hard not to get upset bb c g
Because I know all the trouble I'll get bb c g
Oh, he tells me tears are something to hide bb f
And something to fear g
And I try so hard to keep it inside bb f
So no one can hear g

*** chorus:
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Uh-uh f

*** bridge the bass notes are g-d-g-d bb-f-bb-f I *think* the chords
Are something like g <---> bbma7

He wants me g
But only part of the time bbma7
He wants me g
If he can keep me in line bbma7

*** coda

Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Hush hush shut up now voices carry am c g
Hush hush keep it down now voices carry am c g
Oh hush hush, darling, she might overhear am c g
Hush, hush - voices carry am c g
He said shut up - he said shut up am c g
Oh god can't you keep it down (g) am c
Voices carry g
Hush hush voices carry am c g
I wish he would let me talk. am c g
