G                        D
Should have told you by now
But I can't find the words
If I could show you somehow
But I don't have the nerve

C                Bm
You don't see me looking at you
Am                   G
How can love be so blind
C                  Bm
Somehow you don't notice me
C                    D
Sooner or later yeah, there will come a time

Chorus:
G                  D
If you needed somebody
Am              C      D7
The way that I need you
G                  D
If you wanted somebody
Am              C      D7
The way that I want you
Oh yeah

If I could hold you tonight,
it would last me forever
But the time's never right,
when will we be together, oh no

If I could make you understand,
what you're doing to me
Maybe there will come a time,
when sooner or later I will make you see, baby

Chorus

F                G
Ooh, if I could tell you now
F                    G
The way you make me feel
F                Em
Ooh, if I could show you somehow
D                          C
Don't you know my lovin' is so real

Chorus

(If you needed somebody)
I need you, I want you, I gotta tell you
The way that I need you
And if you wanted somebody,
the way that I want you.
