[Dm] [G] You know, [G] some call me a poet.
[Bb] [E]
He has a way with words, they say.
[Eb]
[Cm] [Bb]
Well, why then, when I try to tell you [Gm] the way I feel,
[Am] do all the words just slip away?
[Bb] Or, they come [F] out sounding like dialogue from a Clark Gable [Gm] movie.
[Bb] Or, frankly, my [E] dear, damn.
[Eb] I just have [Cm] so much inside that [Bb] I want you to know about.
[F]
[Gm] But it all means that [C] I love you.
