Babe, tomorrow's so far away.  There's somethin' I just have to say.
        C                            G/B                Am        G
I don't think I could hide what I'm feelin' inside - another day
          Dsus4 D
knowin' I love you.

And I, I'm gettin' too close again. I don't wanna see it end.
If I could tell you tonight, will you turn out the light - and walk away
knowin' I love you? C/D  G/D  D

{chorus}  Em                       Am7                 D      Dsus4 D D(add9) D
I'm gonna take you by surprise and make you realize, Amanda.
          Em                            Am7                 D     Dsus4 D D(add9) D
I'm gonna tell you right away; I can't wait another day, Amanda.
          Em                    Am7                    D
I'm gonna say it like a man and make you understand, Amanda. (second time: Oh, girl.)
  Csus2 (x3x03x)
I love you. (not sung second time)

And, I feel like today's the day  I'm lookin' for the words to say.
Do you wanna be free?  Are you ready for me - to feel this way?
I don't wanna lose ya. D7sus4

So, it may be too soon, I know. The feelin' takes so long to grow.
If I tell you today will you turn me away - and let me go?
I don't wanna lose you.
