Intro: A A A D 

A                            
Walking up to you straight 
           D               A          D 
Rehearsing everything I've said 
A          
I know I say it different 
          D           A          
But there is no other way 

A    Dbm      F#m        D  
If I stay too long 
A                         D 
It's 'cause I love you 

The chords go the same way throughout the rest of the song. 



Hoping you won't make me cry 
Like you did the other night 
People stop and stare at me 
If I wasn't right 

If I stay too long 
It's 'cause I want you 

Now we're sitting hand in hand 
So relaxed, I'm feeling fine 
I got a letter from your lips 
We'll forget it by the time 

I said If I stay too long 
It's b'cause I love you x2 

Walking up to you straight 
Rehearsing everything I've said 
I know I say it different 
But there is no other way 

I said If I stay too long 
It's b'cause I love you x2
