Verse 1:
                  Amaj7       G#m7
I could write and books in my sleep
        F#m7
Without thinking too deep
              C#9   C#m7
I could speak for a hundred days
          Amaj7                G#m7
I could explain a concept that you didn’t get
    Gm7     F#m7         C#m7
And I would do it in one thousand ways
 
Verse 2:
                  Amaj7       G#m7
I could write you a poem Shakespeare
                   F#m7         C#m7
Or Cole would have called their own
 
Pre-chorus:
    C#m7 Cm7   Bm7     E7              Amaj7
But everything changes now that you’re mine
              Am7       D9     E
And all of my words are left behind
      E* E/D#   C#m        C#mmaj7
Cause no matter how hard I try
   C#m7*           C#m/G#  B9 Adim/B
My tongue is still tied by you
Chorus:
                        E
I just wanna tell you I love you
             G#7              C#m
But it’s the hardest thing to say
  C#m7*        F#m7*
I turn my head upside down
       B/A
Trying find some kinda way
                   G#7
Just to tell you I need you
                     C#m*
In a way that will be heard
  C#m7*       F#m7*
I try to be a poet
            B9
But since I met you
                          Amaj7
I’ve never been good with words
Amaj7 Esus2/G# F#m7* E**
 
Verse 2:
          Amaj7           G#m7
I used to be specific and be explicit
F#m7                    C#m7
With every thought I’d contemplate
            Amaj7              G#m7
Do you have any idea what it’s like
                      F#m7             C#m7
To feel something you just can’t articulate?
              Amaj7                   G#m7
There ain’t a noun that I’ve heard, adjective or verb
     F#m7         C#m7
Good enough for you
 
Pre-chorus:
     Cm    Bm7     E7              Amaj7
Everything changes now that you’re mine
              Am7       D9     E
And all of my words are left behind
         E/D#   C#m        C#mmaj7
Cause no matter how hard I try
   C#m7*           C#m/G#  B9
My tongue is still tied by you
 
Chorus:
                        E

In a way that will be heard
  C#m7*       F#m7*

            B9
But since I met you
                          A#dim
I’ve never been good with words
 
Bridge:
             Am7               G#m7
There’s only so many different ways
             D#9     D9   C#9 Bmaj7
There’s only so many old  cli-ches
           B9
That I can do, so what can I do,
                   C#7
Tell me what can I do
 
Chorus:
                        F#

I’ve never been good with words
