Written by Terri Clark, Tom Shapiro & Jim Collins
Recorded by Terri Clark

Intro.:  |(D) |(G) |(D) |(G) |

(A) I hear the (D/F#)whispers as I (G)walk by
(A) They always (D/F#)start with bless her (G) heart
(A) She's still (D/F#)single and that's (G)such an empty life
(A) She must not be (D/F#)lookin' all that (G) hard
They've all got their stories of (Bm)why I'm still alone
But the (G)only truth that matters is my own

(Chorus)
I want (D)fireworks to paint the sky, a (G)kiss to burn my lips
I wanna (Bm)feel the touch that pounds my heart down (A)to my fingertips
And twenty (D)years from now it still won't be as (G)good as it will get
It might (Bm)be a lot to ask for but I (A)won't take any less
Just be-(G)cause I (A)won't settle don't mean (Bm)I won't (A) settle (G)down
I don't need a (Em)love that I can (F#m)live with, (G)I want the one I can't live with-(D)out

(A) Momma's (D/F#)always getting (G)on me
She says (A) I don't give (D/F#)anyone a chance (G)
(A) But if I can't (D/F#)feel the music (G)when somebody holds me
(A) How am (D/F#)I supposed to (G)dance
There might be a few more lonely nights, but (Bm) I'm not keeping score
It's (G)worth the wait for what I'm waitin' for

(Chorus)
(D)Fireworks to paint the sky, a (G)kiss to burn my lips
I wanna (Bm)feel the touch that pounds my heart down (A)to my fingertips
And twenty (D)years from now it still won't be as (G)good as it will get
It might (Bm)be a lot to ask for but I (A)won't take any less
Just be-(G)cause I (A)won't settle don't mean (Bm)I won't (A) settle (G)down
I don't need a (Em)love that I can (F#m)live with, (G)I want the one I can't live with-(D)out

Inst.:  |(D) |(G) |(Bm) |(A) |

(Tag)
And just be-(G)cause I (A)won't settle don't mean (Bm)I won't (A) settle (G)down
I don't need a (Em)love that I can (F#m)live with, (G)I want the one I can't live with-(D)out (G)
Oh, I can't live with-(D)out (G)
