Standard (EADGBE)

 F#min x2

  i'm playing guitar

  you're asleep upstairs

  i try and be quiet

  but i know you never care

  tomorrow you'll work

  and stay a little late

  you'll walk in looking pretty

  this is what i'll say

 here's the i love you song

 i know you've been waiting on

 i'm sorry it took so long

 but i wanted it to be just right

 i never could make you cry

 i thought i'd try one more try

 from the moment i met you i

 i always wanted it to be just right

you'll look at me and say thank you

  i'll say you're welcome too

you know i really do mean it

  i mean it all for you

i'm sorry if i've been weird lately

  i get so caught up

in whatever else makes me crazy

  and we dont talk enough

 here's the i love you song

 i know you've been waiting on

 i'm sorry it took so long

but i wanted it to be just right

 i never could make you cry

 i thought i'd try one more try

 from the moment i met you i

 i always wanted it to be just right (you can either continue to play A or

slide from A on the thrid fret to the

i always wanted it to be just right 9th for a harmonic sound)

 well i know i know i know its not perfect

 it's not long enough and its too trite

 well i know i konw i know i'm not always my best for you

 and though a melody won't make it alright

 here's the i love you song

 i know you've been waiting on

 i'm sorry it took so long

 but i wanted it to be just right

 i never could make you cry

 i thought i'd try one more try

 from the moment i met you i

 i always wanted it to be just right

(the solo is pretty easy to figure out)

otherwise play
