You think you’ve heard this be fore.

It’s been mak ing me sad,

’cause (Dm)I can’t find a bet ter way to (F)speak the words I wan na say to you.

Know how I love you,

and know how I need you.

And (F)I

want you to know,

won’t let you down.

No, I can’t let go.

And (F)I

want you to see

ev er y day I wear my heart on my sleeve.

Heart on my sleeve.

Heart on my sleeve,

heart on my sleeve.

I wear my heart on my (C)sleeve.
