[A] If I could [F#] 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] And though the words [F#] come hard to me, [Bm] I'll say them just [F] for you.
[Em] [A] For this is [F#m] something rare for me, [A] this feeling [E] is so new.
You [A] see, I love the way you [B] love [E] me,

[A] Long ago [F#] I heard the [Bm] song that lovers sing to [G#] me.
[A]
Through the [F#m] days with each new phrase [B] I [Bm] hum that [E] melody.

[Dm] And when you [C] say you [G] believe in me, there's so [Am] much [Bm] magic I [E] can do.
[A] Now you see [F#m] me, now you don't.
[Bm] Watch me [E] 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.
