[Verse 1]
C                        Am      F
  I must admit I've been holding back
C                        Am  C
  And I got somethin' to say
C                     Am        F     G   F Em G
  Now I won't let the words get in my way
C             G          Am   F
  I guess I'm feeling my confidence
C            G        Am   F
  'Cause the time has come
C         G        Am      F        G      F Em G
  Time to make the cat let go of my tongue

[Chorus]
      C          G      Am      F          C
But I don't know how to say it (how to say it)
      G        Am        F
Maybe we could play this little game
C   G        Am                    F
  I hope you catch my drift when I say
               G  N.C.
It rhymes with... dove

         whew

[Verse 2]
C          G          Am      F
  Have you gotten the picture yet
C             G      Am    F
  Or should I say it twice
C           G           Am
  Maybe the first time around
         F            G     F Em G
I didn't get it quite right
C         G           Am        F
  I wanna make myself perfectly clear
C                G             Am   F
  So, there's no doubt in your mind
C         G       Am           F         G   F Em G
  I wanna let you know how I'm feeling inside

[Chorus]
      C          G      Am      F          C
But I don't know how to say it (how to say it)
      G        Am        F
Maybe we could play this little game
C   G        Am                    F
  I hope you catch my drift when I say
               G  N.C.  Bb  Bb
It rhymes with... glove
   F
Oh-oh what I'm thinkin' of sounds like
C
Rough, tough, all that stuff
Bb              F
  It's one word, one syllable
G                          G
  It feels so unbelievable

[Chorus]
      N.C.              Am      F
But I don't know how to say it
C     G        Am        F
Maybe we could play this little game
C   G        Am                    F
  I hope you catch my drift when I say
               G
It rhymes with...

[Chorus]
      C          G      Am      F          C
But I don't know how to say it (how to say it)
      G        Am        F
Maybe we could play this little game
C   G        Am                    F
  I hope you catch my drift when I say
               G  N.C.
It rhymes with... dove
