nothing wrong, but that's not what I believe.

feel today is all I know for sure. And if I scare you, I'm

only scaring me. I've got so much to say, why won't you 

speak with me, I need to know.

[Verse]:

everything I wanna share my life with you.
D                      E            D         E         D   
And tell me that you feel the way I feel with you. And tell 
                     D         E
me that you love me, just like I love you.

[Repeat Chorus]

time, I've been through this before.  And I need to know.
