Voices Carry Lyrics

Artist: Til Tuesday
Album: All About Love

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

Yes, this is an awesome song, a very sad, moving song. In reading the lyrics, I realize that I never caught the "she might overhear" phrase, which says to me that the narrator of the song is having an affair with a married (or otherwise committed) man. Truly the lyrics show how intimacy without real commitment will eventually lead to pain.
