Standard (EADGBE)

This song is what brought me to this fantastic site!

I had been searching for weeks for a tab on this song,

and finally one of my searches led me here, and I

found the version posted here by Raymond Graham. I

grabbed my guitar, and sat down in front of my cd

player, and tried to play along - but it just did not

sound quite right in a lot of Raymond's transcription.

So, this gave me the push I needed to get off my lazy

butt, and do a little figgerin' out myself.

So- - -

This is a revision to the file posted by

Raymond Graham - Raymond did all the hard work,

typing this all out in the first place - I just

changed his chords to my version. This is my first

attempt at posting a song, so bear with me!

Verse 1

So you say your loves about to end

 You say you can't take no more, she's out the door

 And you're looking for a friend.

Who am I to tell you why?

 But I'm just curious, were you furious

 Or did you swallow your pride,

 And look her in the eye and

Chorus 1

]

Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you

Show her what you're feeling

Tell her you're believing

Even though it's hard to say

Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her

 So open up and tell her that you love her

Verse 2

Brother I've been right where you are now

 And my heart was broke, cause I never spoke

 Those healing words out loud.

But I learned my lesson well,

 Now every night, before I close my eyes

 I look at my woman and I ask myself, did you

Chorus ii

]

Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you

Show her what you're feeling

Tell her you're believing

Even though it's hard to say

 Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her

 So open up and tell her that you love

Chorus 3

KEY CHANGE]

Tell her that you love her

Tell her that you need her

Tell her that you want her to stay

Reassure her with a kiss

She may never know unless you

Show her what you're feeling

Tell her you're believing

Even though it's hard to say

Cause she needs to know you're thinking of her

 So open up and tell her that you love her

Woh yeah, Tell her that you love her
