Say You Love Me

F                         C
  "Close the door," he says
                          Am
  "This'll only be a minute"
                                G
  But sometimes minutes can get caught in suspension
F                         C
  I finally figured it out
                                 Am
  And you're that someone who knows a little more
       G
  Than something about me
F                        C
  He says, "I met this girl out in Palm Springs
     Am                            G
  Man, she's the best! You'd be so happy for me!"
F                    C
  And it hits me hard
                            Am
  Seeing this blue-eyed dream sprouting wings
      G                   F
  And flying away from me
C                    Am        G
  Flying away from me,     yeah


[CHORUS]

             F        C
  What if I say you love me?
           Am         G
  Could I make it true?
            F          C
  We could build us something
             Am                   G
  That would mean something to you
                F            C
  'Cause when I close my eyes
                              Am
  I'm in this world where you don't have a girl
          G
  And I'm right by your side
   F        C
  Say you love me
Am            G                      F
    It don't mean that I'll ever have  you
C        Am    G
  Ohhhhh     no


[VERSE 2]

F                      C
  So we're driving home
                      Am
  I look out at the rain on the roads out my
   G
  Passenger window
F                             C
  It's been one of those nights
                     Am
  It all feels so alive
                             G
  Man, you bet, I'm gonna to hate saying goodbye
F                     C
  He pulls up on my driveway
                      Am
  Says, "See you on Friday"
                G
  If he only knew what I'd do to be
      F
  The rain on his coat
        C
  Those keys that he holds
           D                     G
  Or the one he has waiting back home


[CHORUS]

             F        C
  What if I say you love me?
           Am         G
  Could I make it true?
            F          C
  We could build us something
             Am                   G
  That would mean something to you
                F            C
  'Cause when I close my eyes
                              Am
  I'm in this world where you don't have a girl
          G
  And I'm right by your side
   F        C
  Say you love me
Am            G                      F
    It don't mean that I'll ever have  you


[BRIDGE]

            C
  I'm not gonna lie
       G                           Am
  A stubborn part of me keeps the hope alive
        Bb               F                   C
  That someday I'll be yours and you'll be mine
        C/B                 F
  And I know you'll never understand
         G           G#5 Am
  So to keep from losing my best friend
    Bb        F      G
  I hold it all inside

 We could build us something


[FINAL CHORUS]
