Key:  E major 
 
INTRO:  E   B/E   Amaj7   A/B   E   B/E   Amaj7   A/B 
 
VERSE: 
E 
Sometimes all you need  
 
                     Amaj7 
Is someone to hold you 
 
E                                             A       
Sometimes that's all you're looking for 
 
          C#m               E/B 
But I'd like to take the time 
 
             F#7 
To get to know you 
 
          A                     E/G# 
'Cause I don't want this time to be 
 
       F#m                B 
Like all the times before 
 
CHORUS: 
             E 
I want to know you  
 
                    A 
Before I make love to you 
 
             E 
I want to show you 
 
        E/G#  A        B 
All of my    heart 
 
               G#m               C#m 
And when I look into your eyes 
 
            G#m              C#m  B   A 
I want to feel the love inside---------------- 
 
             E 
I want to know you 
 
A/B                      E      B/E     Amaj7   A/B 
....before we make love 
 
VERSE: 
     E                              
I've learned from all those 
 
                           Amaj7 
Lonely nights with strangers 
 
           E 
It takes time for real love  
 
         A 
To be found 
 
 C#m          E/B 
I feel the invitation  
 
           F#7 
of your body 
 
          A                E/G# 
But I'd like to look inside your soul 
 
   F#m              B 
Before I lay you down 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
BRIDGE: 
A               B      
If we take it slow 
 
  G#m         C#m 
together,  together 
 
A                       E/G# 
We might make it last  
 
 F#m   B 
forever 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
E   B/E    A    A/B 
 
             E              B/E       
I want to know you...... 
 
A/B          n.c.                          
.......Before we make......before we make..... 
 
E    B/E    Amaj7    Am    E 
love-------------------- 
 
 
Note: 
For the chord,  B/E,  I would play it this way: 
 
---------------------------2----------------------------- 
---------------------------4----------------------------- 
---------------------------4----------------------------- 
---------------------------2----------------------------- 
---------------------------X-----------------------------
