Bm                 G                        D
I'm tugging at my hair, I'm pulling at my clothes
                       A               Bm
I'm trying to keep my cool, I know it shows
Bm                 G                           D
I'm staring at my feet, my cheeks are turning red
                       A              Em
I'm searching for the words inside my head

Em                  G
I'm feeling nervous, trying to be so perfect
Em                           A
Cause I know you're worth it, you're worth it,

Chorus:
D                              A
If I could say what I want to say,
                     Bm
I say I want to blow you away
                   G
Be with you every night,
                        D
am I squeezing you too tight
D                          A
If I can say what I wanna see,
                    Bm
I wanna see you go down on one knee
            G                               Em
Marry me today, guess I'm wishing my life away
C
With these things I'll never say

It don’t do me any good
It’s just a waste of time
What use is it to you what’s on my mind?
If it ain’t comin' out (It ain't comin' out)
We’re not goin' anywhere
So why can’t I just tell you that I care?

'Cause I’m feelin' nervous
Tryna be so perfect
'Cause I know you’re worth it,
you’re worth it, yeah

Chorus

(What is wrong with)
What's wrong with my tongue?
These words keep slippin' away
(Stutter) I stutter (Stutter),
I stumble
Like I’ve got nothin' to say

'Cause I’m feelin' nervous
Tryna be so perfect
'Cause I know you’re worth it,
you’re worth it, yeah

G                          Em
Guess I'm wishin my life away
C                             D
With these things I'll never say

Chorus:
If I could say what I wanna say
I'd say I wanna blow you away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezin' you too tight?
If I could say what I wanna see
I wanna see you go down on one knee
Marry me today
Guess I’m wishing my life away
With these things I’ll never say
These things I’ll never say
