[Eacb cbord is balf a measure.]
[The acoustic guitar is actually in E, with a capo on the 5th fret.
The electric is in A, no capo. These chords assume no capo.]

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

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.]
