Verse 1

Am              G      Am                 G
Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,
F            C        E7               Am  Dm Am
Letters I've written, never meaning to send
            G              Am              G
Beauty I've always missed, with these eyes before
F             C     E7              Am     Dm Am
Just what the truth is, I can't say anymore

Chorus

          D       Dsus2
Because I love you
       Am
Yes, I love you
E7        Am      Dm Am
Oh, how I love you

Verse 2

Am        G       Am              G
Gazing at people, walking hand in hand
F             C             E7         Am        Dm Am
Just what I'm going through they can't understand
            G    Am                       G
Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend
F             C       E7                     Am Dm Am Em/B Am
Just what you want to be, you will be in the end

And I love you

Oh, how I love you

And I love you
       Am
Yes, I love you
E7        Am
Oh, how I love you
