intro
D G

D C
every time i walk into my room ,
i see you sitting there ,
G Em A
and i hope that today will be the day , nothing to fear

C D G ( F# ) Em
and i’ve told myself so many times to wait for it to come ,
C D G
but if i wait too long , i may forget you

often times i’ll analyze and criticize in my mind ,
telling friends that this nonsense can’t be what they want to hear

but at least they have something to say ,
my own mind will ring in dull ,
that’s why if i wait too long , i may forget you

C D
it’s been such a long time ,
G Em
i know it’s sad but true ,
C D
such a long time ,
G Em
since i’ve had something to say ,
C D
such a long time ,
G Em C D
i don’t even know what i’m even looking for ,
C Em Am
how can i find what i cannot see?
C D G
if i wait too long , i may forget you

( interlude )

lately it seems that i’ve been thinking ’bout you every day ,
but i can’t seem to get the courage to open up to you ,
and i bet that if i can , things would be better i Am sure ,
that’s why if i wait too long , i may forget you

it’s been such a long time ,
i know it’s sad but true ,
such a long time ,
since i’ve had something to say ,
such a long time ,
now that i’ve found what’s been stuck in my mind ,
i promise i will be back real soon

if i wait too long , i may forget you

( short interlude )

it’s been such a long time ,
i know it’s sad but true ,
such a long time ,
since i’ve had something to say ,
such a long time ,
now that i’ve found what’s been stuck in my mind ,
i promise i will be back real soon

if i wait too long i may forget you . . .
