E6/9                   Cdim7 
I think we spend too much time 
        C#m11          G#m7/5+      Amaj7 
Talking around what we need to say 
E6/9                      Cdim7 
I think there's always been something 
                      C#m11    G#m7/5+ 
Something you've been dying to say 
                 Amaj7    G#m7 
'Cause I've been dying to say this 
 

 
        F#m7 
But the words won't 
Esus4                               F#m7 
They won't make their way out of my lips 
      Esus4 
Won't make the shape I need to ask you 
F#m7       Esus4        Adim7 
Why don't, why don't we try 
             C#m9      Badd11       A#m7/5- 
Let's try to make what we have real 
      A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Cuz I laaaaaaah... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Oh I laahhhhh... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 B7 
Oh I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa... 
  E6/9  Cdim7 
I doooooo 
                      C#m11     G#m7/5+ Amaj9 
I can't say it, but I know that I do 
 

 
E                        Adim7 
I think you biting your lip hides 
                C#m9        Emaj7        Amaj7 
Something profound that I wish you'd say 
E 
My mind's been racing 
   Adim7 
My heart's been waiting 
        C#m9         Emaj7 
It just wants me to say 
                Amaj7  G#m7 
What we've been hiding away 
 

 
        F#m7 
But the words won't 
Esus4                               F#m7 
They won't make their way out of my lips 
      Esus4 
Won't make the shape I need to ask you 
F#m7       Esus4        Adim7 
Why don't, why don't we try 
             C#m9      Badd11       A#m7/5- 
Let's try to make what we have real 
      A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Cuz I laaaaaaah... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Oh I laahhhhh... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 B7 
Oh I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa... 
   
I do 
 

 
E                        Adim7 
It's just a word- just a single word! 
                 C#m9 
Tell myself that telling her 
   Emaj7     Amaj7 
Is not a big thing 
E 
More than a word 
           Adim7 
It changes what she hears, what she's heard 
C#m9            Emaj7        Amaj7 
What we are and what we once were 
G#m7                  F#m7                       Esus4 
One of these days I'm going to have to take that risk 
                       F#m7                          Esus4 
If I'm going to be the man that you can see yourself with 
               F#m7                        Esus4 
I can feel the weight this word can easily shift 
Adim7    C#m9    Badd11       A#m7/5- 
Oh but I want to make it real 
 

 
      A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Cuz I laaaaaaah... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 G#m7 
Oh I laahhhhh... 
     A#m7  G#m7  F#m7 B7 
Oh I la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaa... 
  E6/9  Cdim7 
I doooooo 
                      C#m11     G#m7/5+ Amaj9 
I can't say it, but I know that I do
