C
I wanna tell you you're beautiful,
F 
In a way that you have not heard before,
C
But I don't think it's gonna work,
G                       C
Cause I'm not good with words.

C
I wanna tell you you're the reason why,
                                          Am
The earth spins and the stars hang in the sky,
C                            F
But I don't think it's gonna fly,
Dm                      C
Cause I'm not good with words.


[Chorus]

Am              F
If only I could find a way,
C                   G
To say it like them poets say,
Am                      F
Sing a sweet and simple serenade,
C        C       G
Directly to your heart.

Am              F
If only I could speak aloud,
C                            G
Just what I feel when you're around,
Am          F          Dm
I'd finally confess my love in verse,
G                     C
But I'm not good with words.

C                  F
If I was just like Shakespeare,
C                F
Whispering sweet sonnets in your ear,
C                                  F
I'd tell you everything you want to hear,
G
But I'm not good with words.

Am              F
If only I could find a way,
C                   G
To say it like them poets say,
       Am               F
Sing a sweet and simple serenade,
G
Directly to your heart.

Am              F
If only I could speak aloud,
C                G
Just what I feel when you're around,
Am          F                  Dm
I'd finally confess my love in verse,
C                     F
But I'm not good with words.

F            G
Sentences or conversation,
C  F          C             G
Oh words they only bring me complication,
            Em
And when it comes to love,
    Am           G           F
I'm useless just full of bad excuses,
    C                Dm
And confessions gone unheard.

Am              F
If only I could find a way,
   C                G
To say it like them poets say,
       Am               F
Sing a sweet and simple serenade,
C                Dm
Directly to your heart.

Am              F
If only I could speak aloud,
     C                G
Just what I feel when you're around,
    Am      F                  Dm
I'd finally confess my love in verse,
C           G         C
But I'm not good with words.
C  F
