[Verse 1]
C6
It wasn't always easy
D
Growing up we had our fights
Bm
Though we wouldn't say it
Em
We wanted to play nice
C6
I can safely say we're friends
D
And that I love you too
Bm
But years ago that wouldn't happen
Em
Because I didn't get you
[Pre-Chorus]
C
Oh it's complicated
D
And I need to say it
Bm Em
Cause time is fading away
C
I should've said it sooner
D
Who knows what's in the future
Bm Em E
But now I need you to know
[Chorus]
C
That I love you
D
You know it's true
Bm
You don't need to say it back to me
Em E
Because I know you do
C
And I get it now
D
You weren't allowed
Bm Em E
The same life that you've so gracefully endowed ooh
C
[Verse]
C
I'm happy with it all now
D
We both had to grow and learn
G
To understand each other
Em
And with patience we took turns
C
I'm sorry for my anger
D
I was just too young to know
G
The cause of your exterior
Em
And just what you wouldn't show
[Pre-Chorus]
C6
Oh it's complicated
D
And I need to say it
Bm Em
Cause time is fading away
C6
I should've said it sooner
D
Who knows what's in the future
Bm Em
But now I need you to know
[Chorus]
C
That I love you
D
You know it's true
Bm
You don't need to say it back to me
Em E
Because I know you do
C
And I get it now
D
You weren't allowed
Bm Em
The same life that you've so gracefully endowed
[Bridge]
E C
Oh I love you
D
You love me too
G
Unspoken words are preferred
Em
But it's the truth
E C
I'll shift the tide
D
Leave windows wide
G
We are the start
Em
Our change of heart will be our guide
[Chorus] (strum once for each chord)
E C
Oh I love you
D7
You know it's true
G
You don't need to say it back to me
Em E
Because I know you do
