Intro: Eb--Gm-- x2


Verse 1:
Eb
  You're the words 
that come out easy
          Gm
And I am speechless at best
Eb
  Your star it seems 
   Gm
to shine above the rest
Eb
  You're the face before the cameras
     Gm
The smile i'd like to earn
    Eb
The closest thing to perfect
     Gm
In a hollywood to burn
Eb
  You're the beauty that is 
            Gm
deeper Than eyes can merely see
    Eb
The closest thing to perfect
        Gm
But the farthest thing from me


Chorus: 
Gm  F/A     Bb
I'd love to be
    Gm
The shoulder
F/A      Bb
that you cry on
Gm  F/A     Bb
I'd love to be
               Gm
The friend you call
     F/A        Bb
when things are great
(Repeat)


Post Chorus: Eb--Gm--


Verse 2:
Eb
  You're the dream
that hasn't ended
              Gm
And I'm still anxious for
    Eb
rest  Your words they seem
   Gm
to hang above my head
Eb
  You're the bud before the
         Gm
flower Unfurls into full
      Eb
bloom Captivating beauty
       Gm
But it maybe all too soon
Eb
  You're the song 
that writes a story
    Gm
But leaves alot to read
    Eb
The closest thing to perfect
        Gm
But the farthest thing from me

(Repeat Chorus)


Bridge:
Eb
  And like I really
  Bb
deserve a chance to
Eb
Sit across the table
    Gm
And tell you that I 
             Eb
think you're wonderful
Bb
  And I think you're 
Eb               Gm
something special
Eb
  I guess this is 
   Bb
my only chance
   Eb
to Say I wish I knew you
  Gm
Because I'm sure 
       Eb       Bb
you're wonderful
       Eb             Gm
If I'd get to know you
