        Fmaj7                  Em7 
There's something I want to tell you 
        Fmaj7                    Em7 
There's something I think that you should know 
              Fmaj7                Em7 
It's not that I shouldn't really love you 
                 C/D Dm7  C/D   Am7  G 
Let's take it slow 
     Fmaj7                 Em7 
When we get to know each other 
    Fmaj7                Em7 
And we're both feeling much stronger

  Fmaj7                    Em7 
Remember that special night 
     Fmaj7                    Em7 
When all of the stars were shining bright? 
   Fmaj7              Em7 
We made our first endeavor

To stay together 
   Fmaj7                 Em7

To love, to share and be real honest 
    Fmaj7                 G/C 
But on that very first night

I didn't really know 
       Em7 
Not to let all my feelings show

Am7        Dm7/G 
So our love can be greater 
 

 
    Fmaj7                        Em7 
You said you would, always love me 
  Fmaj7                Em7 
Remember I said the same thing too 
          Fmaj7                         Em7 
You don't have to be frightened with my love 
            Dm7
