Verse 1
(A minoraj7) If I could say the (F sharp minor) things I feel,
(B minor) it wouldn't be the same (E9)
(A minoraj7) Some things are not (F sharp minor) spoken of,
(B minor7) some things have no (E13) name
(A minoraj7) Though the words come (F sharp minor) hard to me,
I'll (B minor7) say them just for (F major) you (A minoraj7)
For this is something rare (F sharp minor7) for me
this (A minoraj7) feeling is so (E7) new
Chorus 1
You see I love (A minoraj7) the way you love (B minor7) me (E7)
(A minoraj7) Love the way you smile (B minor7) at me (E7)
I (A minoraj7) love the way we live (B minor7) this life (E7)
we're (A minoraj7) in (D/F#) (E7)
(A minoraj7) (D/F#) (E7)

Verse 2
(A minoraj7) Long ago I heard (F sharp minor) the song,
that lov (B minor) ers sing to (E9) me
(A minoraj7) And through the days with (F sharp minor) each new phrase
I (B minor7) hummed that melody (E13)
And (A minoraj7) all along I (F sharp minor) loved the song
but I never (B minor7) learned it through (F major)
Oh, but (A minoraj7) since the day you came (F sharp minor7) along,
I've saved (A minoraj7) it just for (E7) you
Chorus 2
You see I (A minoraj7) the way you love (B minor7) me (E7)
(A minoraj7) Love the way you smile (B minor7) at me (E7)
I (A minoraj7) love the way we live (B minor7) this life (E7) we're
Bridge 1
(D major) (in) (D/C#) (B minor7)
(D major) I don't be (D/C) lieve in ma (G major) gic
but I do (C minoraj7) believe in you (A minor7)
And (D minor) when you say (D minor/C) you be (G major) lieve in me
There's so much (A minor) magic I (B minor7) can (E7) do
Verse 3
(A minoraj7) Now you see me now (F sharp minor) you don't
(B minor) watch me dive (E9) below
Deep (A minoraj7) down in your love (F sharp minor) lake
where the (B minor7) sweet fish come and (E13) go
And (A minoraj7) I might sink and (F sharp minor) I might drown
but death (B minor7) don't mean a thing (F major)
'Cause (A minoraj7) life continues (F sharp minor7) right or wrong
(A minoraj7) when I play this birth (F sharp minor7) day song
I learned (A minoraj7) from (B7) you,
and (E7sus4) you can't even (A major) sing
