G                            D/F#
    Words get trapped in my mind

                       Em                              C
So don't think I don't take the time to feel the way I do

            G                          D
'Cause the first day you came into my life

               G           D
My time ticks around you

G                          D/F#
    But then I need your voice

              Em                                    C
As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me

            G            D               G       G7
So, tell me when it's time to say "I love you"
[Chorus]
C                 G
    All I want is you to understand

      D                                    G
That when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to

C                    G
    We are all born in a world of doubt

                D
But there's no doubt

             Csus2 G/B D5/A
I figured out   I love you
[Verse 2]
G                  D/F#
    I feel lonely for

                Em                               C
All the losers that will never take the time to say

          G                        D
What was really on their mind, instead

                 G      D
They just hide away

G                      D/F#
    Yet they'll never have

                 Em                                C
Someone like you to guide them and help along the way

              G           D               G
Or tell them when it's time to say "I love you"
[Outro]
             G           D              C     G/B   Am7   G
So, tell me when it's time to say "I love you"
