G+G A augmentedA
So forgive me if we go slow,
G+G A augmentedA
But there's something I think you should know.
G+G D MajorD
I'm goin' fast as I can,
A augmentedA B minorBm
Please don't make me rush,
G+G D MajorD A augmentedA
This feelin's comin' on way too fast.

I'm not ready to say "I love you" yet.
(Interlude)
D-D-G-A D-D-G-A
So, don't push me in too deep,
I've always been the fool who rushes in,
I know you've got to take the pieces one by one,
'Fore you've got everything.
So forgive me if we take time,
But there's something that's been on my mind.
(Repeat Chorus)

Ah, but you needn't doubt, we can work it out,
E minorEm A augmentedA
And in time we'll get it right. Oh.
