[Verse 1]
CHe's gotta go too sE7mall
But he hides it beAmhind anything he can
Fmaj7Why's he gotta be so sChy
Doesn't he know he's beE7autiful
At least that's what I tAmhink, but
For being honest Fmaj7he's
the only one in my dCreams
I could write out all the E7songs in the world
and I sAmtill don't know what it takes to Fmaj7be his girl
He's oCh so simple
But the most comE7plicated thAming
I hope he sees that I'm doing evFmaj7erything I can to be with him
[Chorus]
But CI-I-I could E7sing the whole night
But I cAman't seem to get it Fmaj7into his mind
That CI'm doing everything I E7can
Cause I really do aAmdore him
But it's not gFmaj7oing as planned
But AmI can't wGait forevFmaj7er and a day
AmHow many more sGongs do I nFmaj7eed to write to make you CstayE7  
To make you AmstayFmaj7  
COh, oh oh E7oh oh oAmhoooFmaj7  
COh, oh oh E7oh oh oAmhooo
[Verse 2]
HCe's different than the E7rest cause
He's not trying to be the Ambest
Never met someone so Fmaj7genuine and loving as hCim
This isn't where he E7hurts
Break down the pieces of his Amheart to explore
Every time I'm Fmaj7with him,
I just wanna see more and Cmore
Thousands of lE7yrics I can sing to Amhim
But when I see him it all startFmaj7s happening again
[Chorus]
But CI-I-I could E7sing the whole night
But I cAman't seem to get it Fmaj7into his mind
That CI'm doing everything I E7can
Cause I really do aAmdore him
But it's not gFmaj7oing as planned
But AmI can't wGait forevFmaj7er and a day
AmHow many more sGongs do I nFmaj7eed to write to make you CstayE7  
To make you AmstayFmaj7  
COh, oh oh E7oh oh oAmhoooFmaj7  
COh, oh oh E7oh oh oAmhooo
[Chorus]
I-IC-I could sing Gthe whole night
But I cAman't seem to get it into his mind
That CI'm doing everything I E7can
Cause I really do aAmdore him
But it's not gFmaj7oing as planned
But AmI can't wGait forevFmaj7er and a day
AmHow many more sGongs do I nFmaj7eed to write to make you CstayE7  
To make you AmstayFmaj7

[Verse 1]

C E7

He's gotta go too small

But he hides it behind anything he can

Fmaj7 C

Why's he gotta be so shy

Doesn't he know he's beautiful

At least that's what I think, but

Fmaj7

For being honest he's

the only one in my dreams

I could write out all the songs in the world

Am Fmaj7

and I still don't know what it takes to be his girl

He's oh so simple

E7 Am

But the most complicated thing

Fmaj7

I hope he sees that I'm doing everything I can to be with him

[Chorus]

C E7

But I-I-I could sing the whole night

Am Fmaj7

But I can't seem to get it into his mind

C E7

That I'm doing everything I can

Cause I really do adore him

Fmaj7

But it's not going as planned

Am G Fmaj7

But I can't wait forever and a day

Am G Fmaj7 C E7

How many more songs do I need to write to make you stay

Am Fmaj7

[Verse 2]

C E7

He's different than the rest cause

He's not trying to be the best

Fmaj7 C

Never met someone so genuine and loving as him

This isn't where he hurts

Break down the pieces of his heart to explore

Fmaj7

Every time I'm with him,

I just wanna see more and more

E7 Am

Thousands of lyrics I can sing to him

Fmaj7

But when I see him it all starts happening again

[Chorus]

C E7

But I-I-I could sing the whole night

Am Fmaj7

But I can't seem to get it into his mind

C E7

That I'm doing everything I can

Cause I really do adore him

I-I-I could sing the whole night

But I can't seem to get it into his mind

That I'm doing everything I can

Cause I really do adore him

Am G Fmaj7

But I can't wait forever and a day
