Strum
D-DU-UDU
 The strumming pattern continues throughout the verse ( ):
 Do just what you want to
 I think you're right
 I do what I want to to
 I do what I want to to
 I let the world surround me
 'Cause I saw no real harm
 I didn't stop to think of you
 You were already in my arms
 I was wrong but I
 But I,  I  wanted to tell you,  I needed to tell you,  What I couldn't say
 And love, I needed to find mine, But it took me a long time, to see
 I wanted to tell you
 I wanted to tell you
 What I couldn't say
 I needed to find mine
 But it took me a long time to see
 Love... well never mind
 I know how you feel about that
 Now what do you think
 About time?
 I wanted to tell you
 I wanted to tell you
 What I couldn't say
 I needed to find mine
 But it took me a long time to see
 I do what I want to to
 I do what I want to to
 I do what I want to to
 I do what I want to to
 I let the world surround me
 'Cause I saw no real harm
 I didn't stop to think of you
 You were already in my arms
 But there was something...
 I wanted to tell you
 I wanted to tell you
 What I couldn't say
 I needed to find mine
 But it took me a long time to see
 Love...
