these two lines are what I'm gonna call the "intro line".play it once for intro.

play it again for the first part of verse

"Sayin 'I love you' is not the words I want to hear from you

It's not that I want you, not to say but if you only knew"

on "knew", instead of playing the last eigth note in the intro line, you play

  0- |  instead of    3- |  -- |                3- |  -- |                -- |

  -- |  	      -- |  -- |		      -- |  0- | 		      3- |

Sayin "I love you" is not the words I want to hear from you

It's not that I want you not to say but if you only knew

how easy it would be to show me how you feel

more than words is all you have to do to make it real

then you wouldn't have to say that you love me'cause I'd already knowchorus

What would you doif my heart was torn in two?more than words to show you feel

that your love for me is realWhat would you sayif I took those words away?

Then you couldn't make things newjust by sayin' "I love you"

la di da da da di da da di da..etc...verse 2

Now that I have tried to talk to you and make you understand

all you have to do is close your eyes and just reach out your hands

and touch me, hold me close don't ever let me go

more than words is all i ever needed you to showthen you wouldn't have to say

that you love me 'cause I'd already know.

nice, long and lengthy, eh?  hope you guys have fun with this. -ben
