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. 

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.
