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.] n.c. n.c. n.c. n.c. n.c. n.c. n.c. n.c. [intro (drums)]

^E[in^Dtro^A] ^A ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E Don't mean to ^Dget a little ^Aforward ^Awith you ^E Don't mean to ^Dget ahead of ^Awhere we a^Are ^E Don't mean to ^Dact a little ^Anervous a^Around you I'm ^Ejust a little ^Dnervous ab^Aout my he^Aart

^D It's been a ^Ewhile since I ^Afelt this ^Afeeling ^D That every^Ething that ^Ayou do g^Aives me ^D It's been too ^Elong since ^Asomebody wh^Aispered ^D Woooo^Eoo, ^Ashut up and k^Aiss me ^E[in^Dstr^Aume^Antal]^E ^D ^A ^A

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 There's ^Bsomething 'bout the ^Bsilent t^Bype ^D Attracting ^Eme to y^Aou ^A ^B All ^Bbusiness, baby, ^Bnone of the h^Bype ^D That no ^Dtalker can ^Dlive up ^Etoo-^Dooo-^Aooo ^A[guita^Er s^Dolo^A] ^A ^E[gu^Dita^Ar s^Aolo] ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E[pi^Dano^A so^Alo] ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E ^D ^A ^A ^E ^D ^A ^A

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 TAB: Piano "intro": E 8=9-------------| B ----7=8---------| G --------5=6-----| D ------------4=5-| A ----------------| E ----------------| Acoustic rhythm guitar, verse (capo 5): B A E E ----------------|----------------| B ----------------|----------------| (Or something like this; G 4---4---2---2---|----------------| improvise.
