"My days and nights are surrounded by your thoughts...
        I'm consumed with you each moment of the day...
        You don't have to do anything ...
        As long as I know you're there thinking of me.....
        As long as I have you somewhere close...
        that's what gives me happiness...
        To be with you is the best thing I could ever ask for...
        You make me smile...
        You touch my heart in everything you do..."

        INTRO:
         G... Cadd9... Am7... C... C.D. G...
         VERSE:
             G          Cadd9
              Saying I love you is
            
              Am7             C       D         G
              not the words I want to hear from you
             G                Cadd9
              It's not that I want you
              Am7            C      D    Em
              not to say but if you only knew
              Bm7   Am7
              Ho-ow ea-sy
              D              G      D/F#     Em
              It would be to show me how you feel
              Bm7       Am7       D7              G7
              More than words  is all you have to do 
              G7              C
              To make it real
              C         Cm              G
              Then you wouldn't have to say
                        Em7
              That you love me 'cos
              Am7     D7     G
              I'd  already know
        BRIDGE:
             G                 D/F#   Em        Bm      C
              What would you do if my heart was torn in two
             C                    G/B     Am7             D7                G
              More than words to show you feel that your love for me is real
            G                   D/F#  Em7        Bm7    C
              What would you say if I took those words away?
             C                     G/B      Am7
              Then you couldn't make things new
                      D7             G
              Just by saying I love you
        (Repeat intro x2)
        
        VERSE 2
        
              Now that I've tried to 
              Talk to you and make you understand
              All that you have to do is
              Close your eyes and just reach out your hands
              And touch me
              Hold me close don't ever let me go
              More than words
              Is all I ever needed you to show
              Then you wouldn't have to say
              That you love me
              Cos I'd   All Ready Know
        REPEAT BRIDGE AD LIB AND FADE
