Tom : C
(inrtro) F6 F7+
F6 F7+
I realize you're seeing someone new
Dm7 Dm
I don't believe she knows you like I do
Bb
Your temperamental moody side,
Bbm Bb/C C
The one you always try to hide from me.
F6 F7+
But I know when you have something on your mind
Dm7 Dm
You've been trying to tell me for the longest time
Bb
And before you break my heart in two,
Bbm Bb/C C
There's something I've been trying to say to you.
(refrão)
F
But the words get in the way
G
There's so much I want to say
Dm
But it's locked deep inside
Bb
And if you look in my eyes,
C
We might fall in love again.
F
I won't even start to cry
G
And before we say good bye,
Bb
I tried to say "I love you"
C F6 F7+
But the words get in the way.
F6 F7+
Your heart has always been an open door
Dm7 Dm
But baby, I don't even know you anymore
Bb
And despite the fact it's hurting me,
Bbm Bb/C C
I know the time has come to set you free.
(refrão)
Bb
I'm trying to say "I love you"
C F
But the words get in the way.
