Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

x8

Verse/Chorus: strum each chord twice

so I have under two minutes to sing you this song

it's quite the challenge actually because I've loved you so long

and I know I'm always writing and so you think I'm good with words

but I can hardly express how I feel

'cos words aren't why love is real

there was a message in a bottle at the bottom of the sea

somebody mistook rock for paper accid-d-dentally

so their letter never made it to the lover they adore

I had to fish it from the ocean floor

and I know you won't believe me but I swear to god it's true

the letter said "I love you, but I don't know why I do"

and that's exactly when it hit me that's exactly how I feel

'cos though my love is real

I don't know why I love you I just do

whistle solo!

and so on...

Lyrics:

so I have under two minutes to sing you this song

it's quite the challenge actually because I've loved you so long

and I know I'm always writing and so you think I'm good with words

but I can hardly express how I feel

'cos words aren't why love is real

there was a message in a bottle at the bottom of the sea

somebody mistook rock for paper accid-d-dentally

so their letter never made it to the lover they adore

I had to fish it from the ocean floor

and I know you won't believe me but I swear to god it's true

the letter said "I love you, but I don't know why I do"

and that's exactly when it hit me that's exactly how I feel

'cos though my love is real

I don't know why I love you I just do

now I have under 50 seconds to finish this song

it's still surprising people wonder how we've lasted so long

do you remember when we wed how everyone one said it was wrong

really who cares how they feel

'cos wise friends aren't why love is real

and I don't know why I love you I just do

now there's a singer in new york his name is dave deporis

and I stole a line of verse from him to make my chorus

and I'd write about myself except what can you do but steal

when what you wanna say has already been written

and this happens all the time with books and songs and even wine

except the last one is a secret since for that one you'll get fined

I'm getting off the subject but at least it's not a crime

that though my love is real

and oh my love it's real

I don't know why I love you I just do
