Verses:

G G/F# Am

My words they may sound familiar

D Cadd9 G

Like ones you may have heard before

G G/F# Am

When I tried to write you a love song

D Cadd9 G

I simply could think of nothing more

Chorus:

D Cadd9 G

I love you, I want you and I need you

D Cadd9 G

I'd love to have you by my side

D Cadd9 G

I love you, I want you and I need you

D Cadd9 G

Your love gives my soul a place to hide

Additional lyrics:

I've thought of different ways to tell you

Words however come up short

Of the way I really feel about you

Of the way you're always on my mind

How can I say it any different?

The words they all mean the same

I love you, I want you and need you

A rose is still a rose by another name

The words of those who've come before me

May have sparkled on the page and made you high

All I know is the thought of life without you

Is enough to make the strongest man cry

Amy when I speak to you please listen

Smile, laugh, or cry but don't walk away

I love you, I want you, and I need you

Please tell me that you feel the same

My words, they may sound familiar

Like ones you may have heard before

But never were they said with such conviction

I know they will ring true forever more
