Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
Dm#5 Dm#5
Took her hand in my Dm#5hand as we walked out the door,
Hoped nobody would see Dm#5us as we left that floor.
Took my Dm#5chances in letter of the latter Dm#5
I thought maybe I should tell Dm#5her everything that I felt:
How I played all the Dm#5cards in the hand I was dealt.
Tell her Dm#5all like it was in a letter Dm#5
I should tell her that I love her and I need her tonight
That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes
I want her all for my own;
I should tell her
Take a minute for the Dm#5moment, I can barely begin.
It would seem a perfect Dm#5ending if we only could win.
Take my Dm#5chances and maybe make it better Dm#5
Please find my eyes, I Dm#5can't find the words to explain
All the things I need Dm#5said for me to be sane.
Tell it Dm#5all like it was in a letter. Dm#5
I should tell her that I love her and I need her tonight
That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes
I want her all for my own;
I should tell her
But I'm...
I'm not so sure what we should be;
I'm not sure it should be left up to me.
I've been buried in these blankets for far too long
Pick it all up, uncover what went wrong
But who's to say what I can say?
We've all got something that won't go away.
It's not that I don't love you, I do love you.
I should tell you,
(hold)
But I can't.
I should tell her that I love her and I need her tonight
That the stars are only second to her beautiful eyes
I want her all for my own.
I want her all alone
I should tell her that my mornings are the best when i wake
And see an angel with a smile gracefully on her face
I want her all for my own
I should tell her.
Take a minute for the moment I'm falling apart,
Been falling from the start to tell it all like it was in a letter.
