C                G
Don't you always need me
C                    G
When you're standing at my door
C                 G
Why should I have let you in
F                  G
When you wanted me before
C           G
What I want you to say
C              G
Is a real good reason why
C           G
What I want you to say
F                        G 
Like you've been waiting all your life
C
Hey darling
F
There's something
E
I've been wantin
   F            G
So listen real closely
C           F
To hear you just one time
E                   F         G            C  G  C  G
Tell me that you'll love me forever
C                G
Don't you always see me
C               G
Standing in the crowd
C          G
Am I still somebody else
F                  G
In a place I'm not allowed
C           G
What I want you to say
C                    G
And really mean the words
C           G
What I want you to say
F             G
I still never heard
C
Hey darling
F
There's something
E               F           G
Been wanting so listen real closely
C           F
To hear you just  time
E                      F          G
To tell me that you'll love me forever
