I’m so I scared that the way that I feel is (Gmaj7)writ ten all ’lly o ver my face.

an When you walk in to the room,

I (C)wan na find a hid in’ place.

We used to laugh, we used to hug

the (Gmaj7)way that old friends do.

But now a smile and a touch of your hand me from just (C)makes me come un glued.

Such a con tra dic tion.

Do I (C)lie or tell the truth?

But Is it fact I’d or fic tion,

oh the (C)way I feel for you?

It’s so com pli cat ed.

I’m so frus trat ed.

I wan na hold you close, I wan na push you a way, I wan na make you go, I wan na make you stay.

Should I say it?

Should I tell you how I feel?

Oh, (Em)I want you to know,

Well, I ad mit that I’ve seen you your watch me from the (C)cor ner of your eye.

Oh, it’s so con fus ing.

Oh, (Em)I want you to know,

but (C)then a gain I don’t.

It’s so com pli cat ed.

Oh, (G7)what do I do?

Oh, should I say it?

Oh, (Em)I want you to know,
