 (Riff - Piano/Vocals:
!  play  only  the bass  notes  ! )
 Tell me why, when we fall in love, all we wanna do is play it cool?
 And all the words we never say, nobody ever wants to be the fool.
 But I couldn't see  the sense  in that, oh no.
 'Cause whenever I see  your face, girl, I  just can't hold back.
 And when the day  is breaking,  I'm looking  for your love
 and when the day is fading, you're all I'm thinking of.
 There ain't no use pretending, I've had enough.
 I've got to get  up, get  on with the real,  and say  what I feel.
 (riff!!)
 Now, you can read me like a book, so you ain't gotta read between the lines
 (ain't gotta read between the lines).
 I may as well just say it, oh, you know exactly what is on my mind
 (girl you know what's on my mind).
 So you gotta know  just where  I'm at, oh yeah,
 'cause whenever I see you smiling, I just can't hold back.
 And when the day  is breaking,  I'm looking  for your love
 and when the day is fading, you're all I'm thinking of.
 There ain't no use pretending, I've had enough.
 I've got to get  up, get  on with the real
 And if I  lose you now,
 I'll only  regret the things I never  said.
 But I don't,  I don't know how
 to show  you the way I feel.
 'Cause when the  day is  breaking, I'm looking  for your love
 and when the day is fading, you're all I'm thinking of.
 There ain't no use pretending, I've had enough.
 I've got to get  up, get  on with the real,  and say  what I feel.
 (riff)
 Say what I feel. I gotta say what I, I gotta say what I feel. Say what I feel.
 That's it, I hope you liked it!
 I'm not a 100 per cent sure about the chords @ the bridge.
 ...but I think those might work!
