       D F#m         Bm     G
And I hate to say I love you
          D F#m       Bm G
When it's so hard for me
      D F#m          Bm     G
And I hate to say I want you
          D              F#m
When you make it so clear
               Bm G
You don't want me

Chorus:
          Bm
I'd never ask you cause deep down
     A                         D G
I'm certain I know what you'd say
               Bm
You'd say I'm sorry believe me
   A                        D  A
I love you but not in that way

And I hate to say I need you
I'm so reliant, I'm so dependent,
I'm such a fool
When you're not there,
I find myself singing the blues
Can't bear, can't face the truth

          D  F#m          Bm    G
You will never know that feeling
          D F#m                  Bm  G
You will never see through these eyes

Chorus

               G
You'd say I'm sorry
Believe me
   A
I love you
                 D
But not in that way
