Verse 1:

Amaj7                 F#m           Bm7                 Eadd9  E6
  If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same
Amaj7                 F#m       Bm7                  E6
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name
Amaj7                 F#m           Bm7                     F
And though the words come hard to me I'll say them just for you
Amaj7                  F#m             Bm7            E
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new

Chorus:
           Amaj7            Bm7     E
You see I love the way you love me
Amaj7         Bm7          E
Love the way you smile at me
Amaj7         Bm7         E           Amaj7  F#m  Amaj7/E  
I love the way we live this life we're in

Verse 2:
 A7           F#m               Bm7           E
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me
 A7                     F#m                 Bm7              E
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody
 A7             F#m               Bm7                      F
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through
 A7                    F#m            Bm7                 E
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you


Chorus:
           Amaj7            Bm7     E
You see I love the way you love me
Amaj7         Bm7          E
Love the way you smile at me
Amaj7         Bm7         E            D  D/C#  Bm7
I love the way we live this life we're in


Bridge:
D                  G         C                Am
I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you
Dm                     G
And when you say you believe in me
                Am             E6
There's so much magic I can do


Verse 3:
Amaj7             F#m         Bm7           E
Now you see me, now you don't watch me dive below
Amaj7             F#m                 Bm7                 E
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go
Amaj7             F#m                 Bm7                    F
And I might sink, and I might drown but death don't mean a thing
   Amaj7              F#m
'Cause life continues right or wrong
Amaj7            F#m
When I play this Birthday song
     D7
I learned from you
                    Amaj7
