Steven Curtis Chapman


Tom: Eb

Capo on 1st fret 
All chords relative to capo ( not actual chords) 
           D                      F#m 
I say I love you I say I need you 
             Bm                F#m                 G 
I try so many ways to say how my heart beats for you 
                 D                         F#m 
I say I'm always thinking about you 
         Bm            F#m          G               A 
There's no way I'd want to face this life without you 
                      Bm          F#m       G        A 
And even though these words come from deep inside me 
                               Bm         F#m        G 
There's so much more I don?t have the words to say 
 
                       A 
Cause what I really want to say 
                 F#m                     D 
Is what the sun would say to the sky 
       F               G                A 
For giving it a place to come alive 
              Bm                        F 
But my words get in the way 
                 G            D 
Of what I really want to say 
 
Oh, what I really want to say 
 
                     D                        F#m 
I know that sometimes my words can be as hard as stone 
                Bm                      F#m          G 
And sometimes my words have left you feeling so alone 
                        D                       F#m 
So please forgive me and hear the words I'm saying now 
          Bm             F#m           G          A 
I will spend my whole life looking for a way somehow 
                 Bm        F#m       G             A 
To let you know just how precious you are to me 
                              Bm          F#m    G 
I'll use the best words I know but I still won't say it all 
 
                       A 
Cause what I really want to say 
                 F#m                 D 
Is what the sun would say to the sky 
       F               G          A 
For giving it a place to come alive 
              Bm                F 
But my words get in the way 
   G            A 
Oh what I really want to say 
             F#m                D 
It's like a tale too great to be told 
      F                 G                    A 
It's something that my heart can only show 
               Bm                            F 
I'm gonna take my whole life just to let you know 
            G                 F#m   E   D 
What I really want to say 
                    Bm            F#m   E   D   G 
Oh, what I really want to say to you 
                                   D 
What I really want to say 
 
Oh, What I really want to say
