F# F#/A# B
F# F#/A# B


♫ 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

♫ Chorus:

                 F#
What I wanted to say
                 F#/A#
What I wanted to say was
                 B
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
              B
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
                 F#/A#
What I wanted to say was
                 G#sus4
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
