Standard (EADGBE)

Words get trapped in my mind,

 Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do.

 ‘Cause the first day you came into my life,

 The time ticks around you

But then I need your voice

 As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me

 So tell me when it's time to say I love you.

All I want is you to understand, that

when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.

We are all born in a world of doubt

 But there's no doubt, I figured out

I love you.

Guitar solo

All I want is you to understand, that

When I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.

We are all born in a world of doubt

 But there's no doubt, I figured out

I love you.

I feel lonely for

 All the losers that will never take the time to say,

 What was really on their mind instead

 They just hide away

Yet they'll never have

 Someone like you to guide them and help along the way.

 Or tell them when it's time to say I love you.

 So tell me when it's time to say I love you.
