[Verse 1]
C                                                G
It’s turning out just another day
Am                                                          Em
I took a shower and I went on my way
F
I stopped there as usual
C
Had a coffee and pie
F
When I turned to leave
G
I couldn’t believe my eyes

F                                                          G
Standing there I didn’t know what to say
F                                       G
Without one touch we stood there face to face

[Chorus]
C                                                          G
And I was dying inside to hold you
Am                                       Em
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
F                                       C
Dying inside, I was dying inside
F                                                          G
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you

[Verse 2]
C                                                          G
You said hello then you asked my name
Am                                       Em
I didn’t know if I should go all the way
F                                                          G
Inside I felt my life have really changed
F                                                                G
I knew that it would never be the same

F                                                          G
Standing there I didn’t know what to say
F                                                                             G
First time looked away when I whispered your name

[Chorus]
C                                                          G
And I was dying inside to hold you
Am                                       Em
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
F                                                          C
Dying inside, I was dying inside

But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you

I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
F                                       C
Dying inside, I was dying inside
F                                                          G
But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you

[Bridge]
F                    G                    C
One hello changed my life
F                                       G
I didn’t believe in love at first sight
F                    G                    C
But you’ve shown me what is life
F                                                                             G
And now I know my love (I know it’s coming right)

[Chorus]

And I was dying inside to hold you

I couldn’t believe what I felt for you

Dying inside, I was dying inside

But I couldn’t bring myself to touch you

C                                                          G
And I was dying inside to hold you
Am                                       Em
I couldn’t believe what I felt for you
F                                                          C
Dying inside, I was dying inside
