F#F# F#/A# BB
F#F# F#/A# BB


♫ Verse:

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


♫ Chorus:

         F#F#
What I wanted to say
         F#/A#
What I wanted to say was
         BB
What I wanted to say was
      F#F#
I love you so much
      BB
I love you so much
      G#sus4G#sus4
I love you so much
         F#F#
What I wanted to say was
       BB
We got to the city

♫ Verse 2:

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


♫ Chorus 2:

         BB
What I wanted to say was
         F#/A#
What I wanted to say was
         G#sus4G#sus4
What I wanted to say was
         F#F#
What I wanted to say was
      BB
I love you so much
      F#/A#
I love you so much
         G#sus4G#sus4
What I wanted to say was
      F#F# BB
I love you so much
      F#/A#
I love you so much
      G#sus4G#sus4 F#F#
I love you so much
