[Verse 1]
D                 E
I didn’t see it coming
F#m         D              E
But I never really had much faith
F#m         D                 E
In the universe’s magic, oh no
F#m         D                         E
Till it pulled us to that time and place
F#m
And I’ll never forget
D                                         E         F#m
When the floodgates opened, we, we cried an ocean
D                         E                         F#m
It still has me choking, it’s hard to explain
D                                 F#m
I know you know me, you don’t have to show me
D                 E                 F#m
I, I feel you’re lonely, no need to explain

[Chorus]
D                 E                 F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amo
D                         E         F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all know
D                 E                                         F#m                         D
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this
E                                         F#m
So I wanna hear your mother tongue
C#m         D         E         F#m
So dont say you love me, fala amo
D                         E                 F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all I know
D                 E         F#m                 D
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this
E                                         F#m
So I wanna hear your mother tongue
D, E, F#m, D, E,

[Verse 2]
F#m                 D         E
And yeah, I could be punching
F#m                         D         E
But I always tend to fluctuate
F#m                                 D                         E
I feel sick that I’m buzzing, oh love, I’m in trouble
F#m                 D                         E
I’m sorry, but you got me gushing all over the place
F#m
And I don’t wanna get wet
D                 E                                         F#m
But I think we’re chosen, like our fates were woven
D
And all of those bad choices were left turns on the way

[Chorus]
C#m         D                 E         F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amo
D                         E                         F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all know
D                                     E                         F#m                         D
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this
E                                                 F#m
So I wanna hear your mother tongue
D             E                         F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amo
D                         E             F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all know
D                      E                         F#m                                     D
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this
E                                     F#m
So I wanna hear your mother tongue

[Bridge]
D
I think the best way to explain it’s like (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
F#m                                                 E
Kinda like that, but more (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
D
Yeah, that makes sense, right, like (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
F#m
Like (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
E
Like (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
D             E                         F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amo
D                         E                         F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all know
D                                     E                         F#m
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this
D
So I wanna hear your mother tongue
C#m    D             E                         F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amo
D                         E             F#m
Just let your heart speak up and all know
D                                     E             F#m                         D
No amount of words can ever find a way, to make sense of this

E                                     F#m

D             E             F#m
So don’t say you love me, fala amor
D E Bm
Just let your heart speak up and all know
