I Would Love You To Want Me Chords

Capo First Fret

When I saw you standing [G] there
I about fell off my [Am] chair
When you moved your mouth to [C] speak [D]
I felt the blood go to my [G] feet

Now it took time for me to [G] know
What you tried so not to [Am] show
Something in my soul just [C] cried [D]
I see the want in your blue [G] eyes

[G] Baby, I’d love you to want [Am] me
The way that I [C] want you
The way that it [G] should be
[G] Baby, you’d love me to want [Am] you
The way that I [C] want to
If you’d [D] only let it [G] be

You told yourself years [G] ago
You’d never let your feelings [Am] show
The obligation that you [C] made [D]
For the title that they [G] gave
