Intro F6  Fmaj7  F6  C6

F6                              Fmaj7
I realize you`re seeing someone new
Am7                                 Dm7
I don`t believe he knows you like I do
     Bbmaj7
Your temperamental moody side
Bbm7                                Bb  C7
the one you always try to hide from me
      F6                                    C6
But I know when you have some thing on your mind
            Am7                               Dm7
You`ve been trying to tell me for the longest time
    Bbmaj7
And before you break my heart in two
        Bbm7                                 Bb  C7
There`s something I`ve been trying to say to you

        F6
But the words get in the way
           G
There`s so much I want to say
         Dm7                       C   Bbmaj7
But it`s locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes
                      Gm C
We might fall in love again

        F6                    G
I won`t even start to pry and before we say goodbye
         Bb
I try to say I love you
        C         C7     F6  C6
But the words got in the way

     F6                            Fmaj7
Your heart has always been an open door
    C/D                            Dm7
But baby I don`t even know you any more
    Bbmaj7
And despite the fact it`s hurting me
  Bbm7                              Bb   C7
I know the time has come to set you free

        F6
But the words get in the way
           G
There`s so much I want to say
         Dm7                           Bbmaj7
But it`s locked deep inside and if you look in my eyes
                       C     C7
You might fall in love again

        F6                    G
I won`t even start to pry and before we say goodbye
         Bbmaj7
I try to say I love you
        C                F6  C6
But the words get in the way
            Bb
I trying to say I love you
        C7               F6
But the words get in the way
