I'm going to take my time
       G#maj7                   A#
I have all the time in the world
            Cm  A#
To make you mine
       G#maj7                   A#
It is written in the stars above
           Cm   A#
The gods decree
          G#maj7               A#
You'll be right here by my side
              Cm  A#
Right next to me

You can run but you cannot hide

Chorus:
               Cm
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise?
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide?
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide

Chorus:
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'm going to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above

Chorus:
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
