    Steven Curtis Chapman

Capo on 1st fret 
All chords relative to capo ( not actual chords) 
           D5                      F#5 
I say I love you I say I need you 
             B5                F#5                 G5 
I try so many ways to say how my heart beats for you 
                 D5                         F#5 
I say I'm always thinking about you 
         B5            F#5          G5               A5 
There's no way I'd want to face this life without you 
                      B5          F#5       G5        A5 
And even though these words come from deep inside me 
                               B5         F#5        G5 
There's so much more I don?t have the words to say 
 

                       A5 
Cause what I really want to say 
                 F#5                     D5 
Is what the sun would say to the sky 
       F5               G5                A5 
For giving it a place to come alive 
              B5                      F5 
But my words get in the way 
                 G5            D5 
Of what I really want to say 
 
Oh, what I really want to say 
 

                     D5                        F#5 
I know that sometimes my words can be as hard as stone 
                B5                      F#5          G5 
And sometimes my words have left you feeling so alone 
                        D5                       F#5 
So please forgive me and hear the words I'm saying now 
          B5             F#5           G5          A5 
I will spend my whole life looking for a way somehow 
                 B5        F#5       G5             A5 
To let you know just how precious you are to me 
                              B5          F#5    G5 
I'll use the best words I know but I still won't say it all 
 

                       A5 
Cause what I really want to say 
                 F#5                 D5 
Is what the sun would say to the sky 
       F5               G5          A5 
For giving it a place to come alive 
              B5              F5 
But my words get in the way 
   G5            A5 
Oh what I really want to say 
             F#5                D5 
It's like a tale too great to be told 
      F5                 G5                    A5 
It's something that my heart can only show 
               B5                            F5 
I'm gonna take my whole life just to let you know 
            G5                 F#5   E5   D5 
What I really want to say 
                    B5            F#5   E5   D5   G5 
Oh, what I really want to say to you 
                                   D5 
What I really want to say 
 
Oh, What I really want to say
