verse 1 

Amaj7                 F#m           Bm7                 Eadd9  E6 
  If I could say the things I feel, it wouldn't be the same 
Amaj7                 F#m       Bm7                  E6 
Some things are not spoken of, some things have no name 
Amaj7                 F#m           Bm7                     F 
And though the words come hard to me I'll say them just for you 
Amaj7                  F#m             Bm7            E 
For this is something rare for me this feeling is so new 

           Amaj7            Bm7     E 
You see I love the way you love me 
Amaj7         Bm7          E 
Love the way you smile at me 
Amaj7         Bm7         E           Amaj7  F#m  Amaj7/E   
I love the way we live this life we're in 

verse 2 
 A7           F#m               Bm7           E 
Long ago I heard the song that lovers sing to me 
 A7                     F#m                 Bm7              E 
And through the days with each new phrase I hummed that melody 
 A7             F#m               Bm7                      F 
And all along I loved the song but I never learned it through 
 A7                    F#m            Bm7                 E 
But since the day you came along, I've saved it just for you 

           Amaj7            Bm7     E 
You see I love the way you love me 
Amaj7         Bm7          E 
Love the way you smile at me 
Amaj7         Bm7         E            D  D/C#  Bm7 
I love the way we live this life we're in 

Bridge 
D                  G         C                Am 
I don't believe in magic but I do believe in you 
Dm                     G 
And when you say you believe in me 
                Am             E6 
There's so much magic I can do 

verse 3 
Amaj7             F#m         Bm7           E 
Now you see me, now you don't watch me dive below 
Amaj7             F#m                 Bm7                 E 
Deep down in your love lake where the sweet fish come and go 
Amaj7             F#m                 Bm7                    F 
And I might sink, and I might drown but death don't mean a thing 
   Amaj7              F#m 
'Cause life continues right or wrong 
Amaj7            F#m 
When I play this Birthday song 
     D7 
I learned from you 
                    Amaj7 
And you can't even sing...
