Lyrics

(C)Sum mer comes, (G)win ter fades.

(C)Here we are just the same.

(C)Don’t need pres sure, don’t need change.

(C)Let’s not give the game a way.

There (C)used to be an emp ty space, a (C)pho to graph with out a face.

But (C)with your pre sence and your grace, (C)ev ’ry thing falls in to place.

Just (F)please don’t say you love me ’cause I might not say it back.

Does n’t (F)mean my heart stops skip ping when you (G)look at me like that.

And (F)there’s no need to wor ry when you (G)see just where we’re at.

Just (F)please don’t say you love me ’cause I might not say it back.

Just please don’t say you love me ’cause I might not say it back.
