  			    G 
I've been through some hard 
C                        G 
But i'm feelin' so much better 
    G 
I'm standing in your yard 
C                  G 
I could be here forever 
       Em          C 
And i know if you saw me now 
                        D 
You would be much perplexed 
       Em          C 
And i know if you saw me now 
                       D 
Your mind would be contorted 
       G 
But I love you 
C 
Every time i think of you 
                               G 
The sun shines brightly on my soul 
C 
But theres something missing there 
                          D 
Part of you part of the whole. 
C 
I cried a million tears 
                         G 
Fill an ocean with my sorrow 
C 
And if I had my way  
                          G 
I'd be up to see you tomorrow 
      Em           C 
And I know if you saw me now 
                       D 
You would be quite perplexed 
       Em          C 
And I know if you saw me now 
                       D 
Your mind would be contorted 
        G 
But I love you 
C 
Every time I think of you  
                       G 
I feel like writing a song 
C 
And if I could win your heart 
                                  D 
I never that it'd take so awful long 
C 
And I wish upon a star 
                          G 
Hope that we could get together 
C 
I'll be standing in your yard 
                     G 
We could be there forever 
Em                 C 
And I know if you saw me now 
                      D 
You would be much perplexed 
       Em          C 
And i know if you saw me now 
                       D 
Your mind would be contorted 
      Em           C 
And I know if you saw me now 
                       D 
You would be quite perplexed 
       Em          C 
And I know if you saw me now 
                       D 
Your mind would be contorted 
        G 
But I love you
