[Intro]

Am F Am G Em7

F Am

Lately, it's been hard to breath

Just trying to keep my head above water

Em7

Sometimes life's in the way,

all work and no play

F Am

And lately, it's been hard to see

the way you used to be

G Em7

And I wonder, if the words I don't say

can make it okay

But I've been thinking bout us

And I know that the going is rough

And it feels like a little too much

Em7

Maybe I don't say it enough

So listen

Girl you know you're beautiful

I used to tell you all the time

but when you let your hair down it

Em7 F

Still drives me crazy

Something like a miracle

That I get to call you mine

Em7

So baby have I told you that I love you

F Am G Em7

La-a-a-tely

F Am

Baby we can stay at home

or ditch the phone

Don't have to go nowhere

Em7

And get lost in your eyes

let the time fly by

F Am

Baby, it don't matter what tomorrow brings

You know I'll be right there

Em7

Today and to the night, the rest of my life

But I've been thinking bout us

And I know that the going is rough

And it feels like a little too much

Em7 F

Maybe I don't say it enough, oh

Girl you know you're beautiful

I used to tell you all the time

but when you let your hair down it

Em7 F

Still drives me crazy

Something like a miracle

That I get to call you mine

when I kiss you in my dreams
