[Verse 1]
G          Cadd9
Saying I love you is
Am7             C       D         G
not the words I want to hear from you
G                Cadd9
It's not that I want you
Am7            C      D    Em
not to say but if you only knew
         Am7
Ho-ow ea-sy
D              G      D/F#     Em
It would be to show me how you feel
          Am7      D7              G7
More than words is all you have to do
G7         C
To make it real
C         Cm              G
Then you wouldn't have to say
          Em7
That you love me 'cos
Am7    D7   G
I'd already know
 
 
[Chorus]
G              D/F#   Em          Bm      C
What would you do if my heart was torn in two
C                    G/B    Am7            D7              G
More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
G              D/F#     Em7        Bm     C
What would you say if I took those words away?
C                     G/B      Am7
Then you couldn't make things new
         D7           G
Just by saying I love you

All that you have to do is
Am7            C               D          Em
Close your eyes and just reach out your hands

That you love me 'cos
