I'll Have To Say I Love You In A Song

Words & Music:

Jim Croce

 

        AM7          A6   C#m7  Bm7              E7

Well, I know it's kind of late.  I hope I didn't wake you.

            AM7       A6    C#m7   Bm7                E7

But, what I got to say can't wait.  I know you'd understand.

D           D#dim                  C#7                 F#m

Everytime I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong.

D        A             E7            D   A   E7

So, I'll have to say I love you in a song.

 

Yeah, I know it's kind of strange; but every time I'm near you

I just run out of things to say.  I know you'd understand.

Everytime I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong.

So, I'll have to say I love you in a song.

 

INSTRUMENTAL HALF-VERSE:

Everytime the time was right, all the words just came out wrong.

So, I'll have to say I love you in a song.

 

Yeah, I know it's kind of late; I hope I didn't wake you.

But, there's something that I just gotta say.  I knew you'd understand.

Everytime I tried to tell you, the words just came out wrong.

So, I'll have to say I love you in a song.
