[rept verse]

No april rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding saturday within the month of june
But what it is
Is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you


Chorus :

I just...

F#        Ab      C#
Called to say   I love you    I just

Ebm7      Ab             Bbm7
Called to say how much I care I just

Ebm7      Ab             Bbm7
Called to say          I love you and I

   Ebm     Ebm7     Absus4 Ab
...mean it from the bottom of my

C#    C#    C#    C#m7
heart.


[rept verse x 2]

No summer's high
No warm july
No harvest moon to light one tender august night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
No even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No libra sun
No halloween
No giving thanks to all the christmas joy you bring
But what it is
Though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do.


...then some key change action...
