If I could [F#m] say the things I feel, [Bm] it wouldn't [E] be the same.
[A] Some things [F#m] are not spoken of, [B] [Bm]
some things have [E] no name.
[A]
Though the words [F#] come hard to me, [Bm] I'll say them [F] just for you.
[Em] [A] For this is [F#m] something rare [D] for me, [A] this feeling is [E] so new.
You see, I [Am] love the way you [B] love [E] me.
Love the way you [B] smile [E] at me.
[A] I love the way [B] we live this [A] life we're in.
[E] [A]
[E] [A] Long ago [F#] I heard the [Bm] song that lovers [F#] sing to me.
[A] Through the [F#m] days with each new [Bm] phrase, I hum that [E] melody.
[A] And all along [F#] I loved the song, [Bm] but I never learned [F] it through.
[A] Ah, but since the day [D] you came along, [A] I've saved it [E] just for you.
You see, [A] I love the way [Bm] you love [E] me.
[A] Love the way [Bm] you smile [E] at me.
[A] I love the way [Bm] we live [E] this [D] life we're [F#m] in.
[Bm] [D] I don't [C] believe in [G] magic, but I do believe [Am] in you.
[Dm] And when you [F] say you [G] believe in me, there's so much [Am] [Bm] magic I [E] can do.
[A] Now you see me, [F#m] now you don't.
[Bm] Watch me [F#] dive below, [A] deep down in [F#m] your love lake,
[Bm] where the sweet fish [E] come and go.
[A] And I might sink, [F#m] and I might drown, [Bm] but death don't mean [F] a thing.
[A] Cause life [F#m] continues, right or wrong, [A] when I play this [F#m] birthday song.
I [A] learn [B] from you, [E] and you can't even [A] sing.
