♫ Verse:

  F#      F#/A#
We drove for hours
         B
and we talked the whole way
F#
I'm so enamored with the
F#/A#      B
things that you say
F#
You talk so sweetly
F#/A#        B
I can taste it on my tongue
F#
You got me spinnin'
    F#/A#
got me feeling
     B     F#
like I'm something special
    F#/A#  B    F#
But I'm not sure I really am
         D#       B
cause I choke on all my opportunities
       F#
to say things right
         F#/A# B
I'm gonna try it now

What I wanted to say was
      F#
I love you so much
      B
I love you so much
      G#sus4
I love you so much
         F#
What I wanted to say was

We got to the city


♫ Verse 2:

         F#      F#/A#
and you put your arm around my arm
      G#m
and held me close
     B
I felt so close
      F#
and then I felt it slipping slowly
      F#/A#
through my fingers
    F#
down my leg and to the floor
       F#/A#
like a sudden skipping
     B       F#
Where the word, it gets away
        F#/A#      B
When we need it there beside my hand
     F#
and on my lips


♫ Chorus 2:

         B
What I wanted to say was

What I wanted to say was

What I wanted to say was
         F#
What I wanted to say was
      B
I love you so much
      F#/A#
I love you so much
         G#sus4
What I wanted to say was
      F# B
I love you so much
      F#/A#
I love you so much
      G#sus4 F#
I love you so much
