 If I Fheld you while you were sCleeping like you would Amnever ever lGeave,
 Would you sFtay with me in to the eCvening until the Amsun sets on you and Gme?
 It was a pFassing chance, our mCeeting. One night we Amwon the lotteGry.
 A night when dFaring triumphed Creason, I had to cAmhase your mysteGry.
 And I would sFay its hGard for me to Amfeel this wCay about anyone,
 FSo GI just came to Amsee.
 FSo think abGout it befAmore you move your lCips to say anything.F  G  
 How do you feel about me?
C  Em  Am  G
 I spend my dFays out on an Cisland. You live a Amhundred miles awGay.
 I'm much less Fterrified of Ctrying than anAmything that you might Gsay.
 I know its newF, but this real, and I'm afCraid of what I feel.
 It'd be so Ameasy to conceal the things I kGnow.
 So here I Fam, I'm taking chances, just like Cyou I want to dance
 Under the sAmtars, so here I go. So here it goesG. So here I go. 
 And I would saFy its haGrd for me to fAmeel this waCy about anyone,
 FSo GI just came to Amsee.
 FSo think abGout it befAmore you move your lCips to say anything.F  G  
 How do you feel about me?
C  Em  Am  G
 I'll lay my cDmards out on the tFable, surrCender all my wGords,
 Because I thDmought you might be Fable to Ctell me why I'm lGost.
 This is noAmt a simple Emanswer, I am bFound to underGstand.
 It's just I sAmhuddered when I kEmissed you and I tFrembled in your hGands.
 And I would sFay its hGard for me to Amfeel this wCay about anyone,
 FSo GI just came to Amsee.
