  I want to tell you
A                        B  
  My head is filled with things to say
E(b9)
  When you're here, all those words
             A              [ G/A   D/A ]
They seem to slip away
            [Riff]

  When I get near you

It's only me, it's not my mind
Bdim        A      Asus4 
 That is confusing things

I've got time
[Riff]

Bm            Bdim            A 
  Sometimes I wish I knew you well
             B                 Bm
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Bdim         A    Asus4 
 Maybe you'd understand.
