[Intro]
  F                  G
Before it slips away
C  F  G


[Chorus 1]
C  F  G                    Gadd9  G
      Say something loving
C              F                G             Gadd9  G
I just don't remember the thrill of affection
C              F       G                    Gadd9  G
I just don't remember, say something loving
C          F             G              G6 
I need a reminder the feeling's escaped me
C   F


[Verse 1]
       G                               F
I went looking for it, could have been anyone's kiss
            G                           F
Throwing my arms at no-one, when I gave up I found love
            G                                  F
The thought flows through my mind, and it's growing all the time
       G                                   F
I do myself a disservice, to feel this weak, to be this nervous


[Chorus 2]
    G                    Gadd9  G
You say something loving
C           F                   G             Gadd9  G
It's so overwhelming, the thrill of affection
C            F           G                    Gadd9  G
Feels so unfamiliar, you say something loving
C           F             G            Gadd9  G
Without hesitation it hits me, hits me
   C            F      G  
It feels so unfamiliar

  F
Before it slips away


[Verse 2]
           G                           F
Your touch stays on my skin, I feel it start sinking in
             G                        F
Here come my insecurities, I almost expect you to leave
         G                               F
Were you really looking for me, try your best to reassure me
         G                             F
I wasn't patient to meet you, am I too needy, am I too eager

             G                                                     F
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong
             G                                                     F
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what this is but it doesn't feel wrong


[Bridge]
F                        G/B
  Did you hear me say it,   say it
G                     Fmaj7
  Did you hear me say


[Chorus 3]
  G                    Gadd9  G
I say something loving
C               F                    G          Gadd9  G
I can't hold it inside, the thrill of affection
   C            F           G                    Gadd9  G
Is only getting stronger, I say something loving
C          F             G            Gadd9  G
All my hesitations are fading, fading
  C              F    G
I feel it taking over


[Outro]
  Am               F  G                        Am  F  G                      
Before it slips away,   don't let it slip away
  Am               F  G                        Am  F                        
Before it slips away,   don't let it slip away
