Chords

[Verse 1]
    G
I’m sittin’ in class, tryin’ to pay attention,

    D
But my eyes keeps driftin' in the wrong direction.

Em
You walk by with that smile on your face,

C                                               G
And I freeze up, wishin' I could find the right place.

G
The bell rings loud, but I don’t wanna go,

       D
‘Cause that’s just one more minute that I won’t know.

Em
I want to tell you, but I’m too scared to try,

C                                                     G
‘Cause I know I might not get the chance before I say goodbye.
[Chorus]
G
I like you more than I can say,

      D
But I don’t know how to tell you before I move away.

Em
I’m leavin' soon, and the days fly by,

C                                   G
But I just can’t seem to catch your eye.

G         D                      C
So here I am, just tryin' to get by,

                                G
Hoping you’ll know before I say goodbye.
[Verse 2]
G
I see you in the hallway, talkin' with your friends,

      D
And I wanna say something, but I can’t pretend

Em
That I’m not nervous, scared of what you’ll say,

C                                          G
Worried that I’ll mess it up before I walk away.

G
I pass you by, don’t know what to do,

            D
‘Cause I’ve been holdin’ this in, just thinkin’ ‘bout you.

Em
I wish I could say the words that I feel,

C                                        G
But the time’s runnin’ out, and it’s too real.
[Chorus]
G
I like you more than I can say,

      D
But I don’t know how to tell you before I move away.

Em
I’m leavin' soon, and the days fly by,

C                                   G
But I just can’t seem to catch your eye.

G         D                      C
So here I am, just tryin' to get by,

                                G
Hoping you’ll know before I say goodbye.
[Verse 3]
G
I walk through the halls, but it’s just not the same,

       D
‘Cause you’re not beside me, we don’t play the game.

Em
I catch myself wonderin’ if you ever knew,

C                                                          G
How much I really liked you and the things I never said to you.

G
I keep thinkin’ ‘bout what could’ve been,

   D
If I’d had the courage to just jump right in.

Em
But now it’s too late, and I’m walkin’ away,

C                                        G
With a heart full of words I never could say.
[Chorus]
G
I like you more than I can say,

      D
But I don’t know how to tell you before I move away.

Em
I’m leavin' soon, and the days fly by,

C                                   G
But I just can’t seem to catch your eye.

G         D                      C
So here I am, just tryin' to get by,

                                G
Hoping you’ll know before I say goodbye.
[Bridge 1]
G
Maybe one day you’ll understand,

    D
How much I wanted to hold your hand.

Em
But for now, I’m too shy to speak,

C                           G
And the words just feel too weak.
[Bridge 2]
G
I keep thinkin' 'bout how it could’ve been,

   D
If I just told you, maybe you’d let me in.

Em
But now I’ll never know, and that’s the hardest part,

C                                           G
Leavin’ with these feelings locked up in my heart.
[Chorus]
G
I like you more than I can say,

      D
But I don’t know how to tell you before I move away.

Em
I’m leavin' soon, and the days fly by,

C                                   G
But I just can’t seem to catch your eye.

G         D                      C
So here I am, just tryin' to get by,

                                G
Hoping you’ll know before I say goodbye.
[Outro]
G
The bell rings loud, but I don’t wanna go,

       D
‘Cause that’s just one more minute that I won’t know.

Em
I want to tell you, but I’m too scared to try,

C                                                     G
‘Cause I know I might not get the chance before I say goodbye.

G            D
Before I say goodbye,

C            G
Before I say goodbye...

G                D
I’ll keep it all inside,

C                               G
Hopin’ you’ll know before I say goodbye.
