D                 G#m7-5           Gmaj7
Hello, tell me you know Yeah, you figured me out
D                 G#m7-5 Gmaj7
Something gave it away
D                           G#m7-5              Gmaj7
It would be such a beautiful moment To see the look on your face
D                            G#m7-5 Gmaj7
To know that I know that you know now

Em                            B   Em  B
And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
  A
You know nothin
D                         G#m7b5            Gmaj7
Well you and I  Why, we go carrying on for hours on end
D                  G#m7b5     Gmaj7
We get along much better Than you and your boyfriend

Chorus:
D                              F#m
Well all I really wanna do is love you
                          Bm
A kind much closer than friends use
                         Gm                        D
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
                                     F#m
And all I really want from you is to feel me
                              Bm
As the feeling inside keeps building
                                   Gm
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
              D Gm
If it kills me

How long, can I go on like this
Wishing to kiss you
Before I rightly explode?
This double life I lead isn't healthy for me
In fact it makes me nervous
If I get caught I could be risking it all
Cause maybe there's a lot that I miss
In case I'm wrong

Chorus

Em
If I should be so bold
    B                   Em
I'd ask you to hold my heart in your hand
     B                                Em                A
I'd tell you from the start how I've longed to be your man
       A
But I never said a word
I guess I'm gonna miss my chance again

Chorus:
All I really wanna do is love you
A kind much closer than friends use
But I still can't say it after all we've been through
And all I really want from you is to feel me
As the feeling inside keeps building
And I will find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
If it kills me
I think it might kill me

And all I really want from you is to feel me
Yeah, the feeling inside keeps building
I'll find a way to you if it kills me
If it kills me
It might kill me
