Intro:  | E | G#m | A | E | 

E             G#m   A     E 
If you could see me all alone 
E            G#m     A            E 
Too late to call you on the telephone 
E              G#m A              E 
Playing my guitar softly on the floor 
E                  G#m       A           E 
Keeping the whole world away outside my door 
E              G#m         A                    E 
It was only a night ago, when you called me in tears 
E           G#m           A                     E 
I tried to calm you down, I tried to ease your fears 
E           G#m         A                  E 
Things jump up on me, they take me by surprise 
E                  G#m          A     E 
And they're still haunting me when I rise 
              E           G#m          A                    E 
     Chorus:  There's so many things that make our life so hard 
     E           G#m            A           E 
     We're just doing our best to play our part 
     E                G#m   A            E 
     I guess I gotta learn just what to do 
     E            G#m  A                    E 
     To let you know that I'm in love with you 

     Instrumental:  | E | G#m | A | E | 

E           G#m   A           E 
And I feel lonely even in a crowd 
E             G#m               A           E 
I don't like parties where the music's too loud 
E                  G#m      A               E 
I want to spend my evenings all alone with you 
E              G#m       A              E 
And if I know you, girl, I bet you do, too 

     Chorus 

E        G#m       A                   E 
And it amazes me:  All the things you do 
E           G#m       A                  E 
To help me feel alive and in touch with you 
E            G#m  A              E 
Letters and cards and telephone calls 
E                   G#m         A         E 
I'm trying to make time, love, to do them all 

     Chorus, then: 

                    E                 G#m          A                   E 
     LAST Chorus:  'Cause there's so many things that make my life so hard 
     E         G#m           A          E 
     I'm just doing my best to play my part 
     E                G#m   A            E 
     I guess I gotta learn just what to do 
     E            G#m        A                    E 
     To let you know, now, that I'm in love with you 
     E            G#m        A                    E 
     To let you know, now, that I'm in love with you 
     E            G#m        A                    E 
     To let you know, now, that I'm in love with you
