Verse 1
Am 
Ooh
My heart has been trying
C 
to express itself
Am 
And it's really gettin' me  down
There's a strange effect,
C 
that comes over me
Am 
Whenever you're around

Verse 2

I have so much confidence,

when I'm by myself

It's like my nerves

wore an armored coat

Verse 3

But baby now,

you're such a charmer

You melt that coat of armor

And the words from my heart

Get caught up in my throat

Maybe, I better write a note

Verse 4
Am 
My heart is gettin' discouraged,
C 
with giving me
Am 
Line after line, after line
But my lips can't relate,
C 
what my heart has to say
Am 
They stutter and stammer each time

Verse 5

If I don't tell you soon,

what my heart wants to say

My chance will get more remote

Verse 6
E 
Am 
But each time you've
D 
given me the opportunity
E 
D 
The words from my heart
Am 
Get caught up in my throat
Maybe, I better write a note- ah

Interlude 1

Ooh

Verse 7
Am 
I make the same promises,
C 
Am 
to my heart every morning- ah
C 
Am 
That the very next time we met
I would tell you that I loved ya,
C 
and make you mine
Am 
By the time the sun starts to set

Verse 8

I rehearsed my lines, a thousand times

Read some sweet poetry, I could quote

Verse 9
Am 
But when you open you're
door to greet me
D 
Smilin' oh so sweetly
E 
D 
The words from my heart
Am 
Get caught up in my throat
I think, I better write a note
