Oh, I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in,  
       E               E B7sus   D 
I've gotta let it out,      I've got to show the world, 
                    E 
World's gotta see, see all the love, love that's in me! 
         A                                   E              B7sus E 
I said, why walk alone? Why worry when it's warm over here? 
            D                
You've got so much to say, say what you mean, 
  E 
Mean what you're thinking, and think anything! 
 
  
 
     A                 F#m 
Oh, why, why must you waste your life away? 
                A   B7    E        F#m         G#m      B 
You've got to live for today, then let it go------, oh-oh! 
  A                          F#m 
Lover, I want to spend this time with you, 
                A    B      E             A  G#m 
There's nothing I wouldn't do if you let me know--oh,oh!

 E      A 
And I can't keep it in,  
                     E                   B7sus E 
I can't hide it, & I can't lock it away, 
    D 
I'm up for your love, love heats my blood, 
  E 
Blood spins my head, & my head falls in love, oh!

Oh, I can't keep it in, I can't keep it in,  
       G                         C/G  G      F 
I've gotta let it out, woh-oh-oh,      I've got to show the world,  
                      G                               F 
World's gotta know, know of the love, love that lies low! 
G   C                         F    C    G                C/G  G 
So why can't you say? If you know then why can't you say? 
            F 
You've got too much deceit, deceit kills the light, 
  G                             D            E7 
Light has to shine, I said, shine light, shine light!

You allow too much to go by, & that won't do, no-oh!

Lover, I want to have you here by my side,
