[Verse 1]
CI wanna tell you you're beautiful,
FIn a way that you have not heard before,
CBut I don't think it's gonna work,
GCause I'm not good with Cwords.
CI wanna tell you you're the reason why,
The earth spins and the stars hang in the Amsky,
CBut I don't think it's gonna Ffly,
DmCause I'm not good with Cwords.
[Chorus]
AmIf only I could Ffind a way,
CTo say it like them Gpoets say,
AmSing a sweet and simple Fserenade,
CDirectly Cto your Gheart.
AmIf only I could Fspeak aloud,
CJust what I feel when you're Garound,
AmI'd finally Fconfess my Dmlove in verse,

FSentences or Gconversation,
COh Fwords they Conly bring me Gcomplication,
And when it Emcomes to love,
I'm Amuseless just Gfull of bad Fexcuses,
And Cconfessions gone Dmunheard.
