F#        G#m  E
From the moment I first met you years ago
F#        G#m   E
You were someone I wanted to get to know
F#               G#m      E
Just somethin' about the way it felt bein’ with you
F#        G#m                   E
I knew I liked ya, but didn't know what to do

Chorus:
                   F#          G#m
Cause if I didn't tell you, I still
                   E
think that you’d know
                       F#
'Cause you make me so nervous every
G#m               E
time that we're alone
                 F#           G#m
And if I didn't have ya, I'd still want
         E
you to know
                 F#
Baby, you're the one that my heart
G#m               E
thinks about the most

Do you ever think about it like I do?
And would you never regret it like the way I would?
There's somethin' about the way you
look when you look at me
It’s wrong to assume, but, you make me believe that

Chorus:
If I didn’t tell ya,
I still think that you'd know
’Cause you make me so nervous every
time that we're alone
And if I didn't have ya,
I'd still want you to know
Baby, you’re the one that my heart
thinks about the most

           F#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G#m         E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
           F#
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
G#m         E
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

    F#           G#m
So tell me I'm wrong
     E
And make me forget
            F#               G#m
'Cause the more that I think of
     E
The better it gets
    F#           G#m
So tell me I'm wrong (Tell me, tell me)
     E
And make me forget (Tell me, tell me)
            F#                G#m
'Cause the more that I think of (Tell me, tell me)
     E
The better it gets

Chorus:
Cause if I didn't tell ya (Tell ya),
I still think that you'd know (You should know)
'Cause you make me so nervous
every time that we're alone (We're alone, babe)
And if I didn't have ya (Have ya),
I'd still want you to know
(I'd still want you to know)
Baby, you're the one that my heart
thinks about the most (Baby)

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (You're the one)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh)
