Intro: F#   E   B   F# 
 
         F#            E 
What you are is what I see 
       B             F#              
What I see is what I want it to be 
 
(Repeat Intro) 
 
       F#         E 
When I say I love you 
       B         F# 
What I mean is I really do 
 
Chorus: 
G#m                             C# 
I'm not the one who'll give you everything you need 
F# 
But what I mean is that I'll try 
B                           G#m 
I can't deny that I've been burning inside 
B                             C# 
For all the things I'll never see 
 
        F#         E             B 
So come on, be yourself, nothing else 
          F# 
Who could ask for any more 
        F#                  E 
And you know, they all love you 
        B              F# 
What is more, I really do 
 
(Repreat Chorus) 
 
(Repeat Intro 2x)
