SHUT UP AND KISS ME (Mary Chapin Carpenter)
-------------------------------------------
[Each chord is half 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.]

[intro]
E D A A
Don`t mean to get a little forward with you
E D A A
Don`t mean to get ahead of where we are
E D A A
Don`t mean to act a little nervous around you
E D A A
I`m just a little nervous about my heart
D E A A
It`s been a while since I felt this feeling
D E A A
That everything that you do gives me
D E A A
It`s been too long since somebody whispered
D E A A
Woooooo, shut up and kiss me
E D A A E D A A
[instrumental]
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
B B B B
There`s something `bout the silent type
D E A A
Attracting me to you
B B B B
All business, baby, none of the hype
D D D E D A A E D A A
That no talker can live up too-ooo-ooo [guitar solo]
E D A A E D A A
[guitar solo]
E D A A E D A A E D A A E D A A
[piano solo]
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.]
