[Verse]
 
G                       D/F#
Words get trapped in my mind,
              Em               Em/C           C
Sorry I don't take the time to feel the way I do.
           G                          D
‘Cause the first day you came into my life,
               G              D
The time ticks around you
 
 
 
G                    D/F#
But then I need your voice
              Em             Em/C                   C
As the key to unlock all the love that's trapped in me
           G         D             G            G7
So tell me when it's time to say I love you.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
C             G
All I want is you to understand, that
D                                    G          G    G/A    G/B
when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.
C               G
We are all born in a world of doubt
               D                    D5
But there's no doubt, I figured out
 
Csus2  G/B    D5/A
I      love   you.

[Bridge]
 
G             D/F#
I feel lonely for
               Em              Em/C             C
All the losers that will never take the time to say,
         G                    D
What was really on their mind instead
                     G            Dsus4    D
They just hide away
 
 
G                 D/F#
Yet they'll never have 
                 Em                Em/C           C
Someone like you to guide them and help along the way.
             G         D             G
Or tell them when it's time to say I love you.
           G         D             C    G/B   Am7   G
So tell me when it's time to say I love you.
