Biography:
Split Enz was one of the most successful and longest running bands ever to emerge from New Zealand. Founded in 1972 by Tim Finn and Phil Judd, and with a variety of other members during its existence, eight songs Split Enz were listed in the APRA Top 100 New Zealand Songs of All Time, more than any other band. The band played its final show on 4 December 1984 in Auckland. One-off reunions took place subsequently, with the band reuniting in 1993 for its twentieth anniversary tour and once more for a tour in 2006.

Message To My Girl - Split Enz
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Anniversary' version.
[Intro]
B/C# C# B/C# C# (x3)
[Verse 1]
B/C# C# B/C# C#
I don't wanna say "I love you", that would give away too much
Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb
To be detatched and precious the only thing you feel is vicious
B/C# C# B/C# C#
I don't wanna say "I want you" even though I want you so much
Bbm F/A Fm/Ab F/A Bbm Fdim/B Eb
Wrapped up in conversation whispered in a hush
F#
Though I'm frightened by the word
G#
I think it's time I made it heard
[Chorus]
C# F# C# G#
No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
E F# C#sus4 C#
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that
[Verse 2]
So I wake up happy, warm in a lovers embrace
Noone else can touch us while we're in this place
So I sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
[Chorus]
C# F# C# G#
No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
E F# C#sus4 C#
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that
[SOLO] (verse chords)
Though I'm frightened by the word
I think it's time I made it heard
So I'll sing it to the world
A simple message to my girl
[Chorus]
C# F# C# G#
No more empty self-possession visions swept under the mat
E F# C#sus4 C#
It's no New Years Resolution it's more than that
[INTERLUDE] (B/C# C# x12)
Oh every night I hear you call my name
I wanna sleep in my dark (bedroom?)
I have a mind to express my pain
But I won't get back in your tomb
I wanna hear, I wanna hear, oh why you're gone
And every night seems the same song
Same song...
I will be humming in my sleep
I don't wanna say
I don't wanna say...
[OUTRO] C# F# C# G# E F# C#sus4 C#
I can't spend the rest of my life buried in the sand
