Cherish is the word I use to describe

All the feeling that I have hiding here for you inside

F#m7
You don't know how many times I've wished that I could
G F#m7 Em7 G G/F# G/B A7sus4 A7 A
Mold you into someone who could cherish me as much as I cherish you
Perish is the word that more than applies
To the hope in my heart each time I realize
That I am not gonna be the one to share your dreams
That I am not gonna be the one to share your schemes
That I am not gonna be the one to share what
Seems to be the life that you could cherish as much as I do yours
Em7 A
Oh I'm beginning to think that man has never found
F#m7 C#
The words that could make you want me
A D Bm
That have the right amount of letters, just the right sound
G G/F# Em7 G G/F# Em
That could make you hear, make you see
C C/B A
That you are drivin' me out of my mind

Oh I could say I need you but then you'd realize
Am B9
That I want you just like a thousand other guys
G A
Who'd say they loved you with all the rest of their lies

When all they wanted was to touch your face, your hands
C A B7
And gaze into your eyes
