       C
Right now it's hard for me
To let go and open up
    F
To tell you how I feel
And what I'm thinking of
    C
I know it hardly shows
                               F
It doesn't mean that I'm not trying

       Am
Three little words
     G
One simple thing
   F
I never get it right

Chorus:
    C
So here I am
                 F
Singing what I just can't say
            Am        G
Need you to understand
                    A#
I love you doesn't quite explain
     F        G           C
So I'm gonna sing what I can't say

I'm not the type to wear my heart upon my sleeve
I'm not an open book for everyone to read
And I hope you don't confuse
My silence for just not caring

Three little words
Should say it all
They just won't do tonight

Chorus

C
It's such a simple thing to say
            F
Somehow it doesn't quite explain
Am G F
      No it never comes out right

Chorus:
C
So here I am
                F
Singing what I just can't say
            Am        G
Need you to understand
                    A#
I love you doesn't quite explain
F             G
So I'm gonna sing

C
Here I stand
                Dm
Singing what I just can't say
             Em
I'll do the best I can
                    A#
I love you doesn't quite explain
    F         G           C
So I'm gonna sing what I can't say
