 Chords for Guitar 2 
 =================== 
 Intro: D-D-G-A D-D-G-A 
  
 D 
 From the first hello you gave to me, 
            G                 A 
 I've done nothin' else but smile, 
        D 
 And I know you're in a hurry,  
         G                   A 
 Ah, but it's gonna take a while. 
     G                    A 
 So forgive me if we go slow, 
               G                           A 
 But there's something I think you should know. 
  
            G         D 
 I'm goin' fast as I can,  
         A             Bm 
 Please don't make me rush, 
                G         D       A 
 This feelin's comin' on way too fast. 
               G            D                 A      Bm 
 I'll tell you all of the things that you'll never forget, 
              G        D      A         D 
 But I'm not ready to say "I love you" yet. 
          G        D      A         D 
 I'm not ready to say "I love you" yet. 
  
 (Interlude) 
 D-D-G-A D-D-G-A 
  
 So, don't push me in too deep,  
 I've always been the fool who rushes in, 
 I know you've got to take the pieces one by one, 
 'Fore you've got everything. 
 So forgive me if we take time, 
 But there's something that's been on my mind. 
  
 (Repeat Chorus) 
  
 (Repeat Interlude) 
  
 (Bridge) 
                 G                 A 
 Oh, they'll be times when I'm mistaken, 
                 G                      A 
 And they'll be times when we're gonna fight, 
              G        A       F#m         Bm 
 Ah, but you needn't doubt, we can work it out, 
         Em                A 
 And in time we'll get it right.  Oh. 
  
 (Repeat Interlude) 
  
      G                  A 
 So forgive me if we go slow, 
              G                            A 
 But there's something I think you should know.
