VERSE 1
G
Three in the morning,
G/F#
And I'm still awake,
Em C2(no3)
So I picked up a pen and a page,
G
And I started writing,
G/F#
Just what I'd say,
Em C2(no3)
If we were face to face,
D Em C
I'd tell you just what you mean to me,
D Em C
Tell you these simple truths,

G/F#
Don't live life in fear,
Em
Forgive and forget,

Take your time and pray,

These are the words I would say,
G Em7 C2(no3)
