Talk Tonight
Oasis
         G 
I had a thought, dear
         G 
However scary
            C 
About that night
                  G 
The bugs and the dirt
              G 
Why were you digging?
              G 
What did you bury
              C 
Before those hands pulled me
           G 
From the earth?

            G 
I will not ask you where you came from
            G 
I will not ask and neither should you
            G                       C 
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
                C                      G 
We should just kiss like real people do

             G 
I knew that look dear
             G 
Eyes always seeking
                  C 
Was there in someone
                G 
That dug long ago
               G 
So I will not ask you
              G 
Why you were creeping
             C               G 
In some sad way I already know

               G 
So I will not ask you where you came from
             G 
I would not ask and neither would you
            G                       C 
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
                C                      G 
We should just kiss like real people do

             G 
I could not ask you where you came from
I could not ask and neither could you
            G                       C 
Honey just put your sweet lips on my lips
               C                      G 
We could just kiss like real people do
