[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
A
Telephone, but I can't dial it
A
Hands are shakin'
E
I'll have to file it away
E
What I was wantin' to say
[Verse 2]
A
I love you, you'd think I could say it
A
Though it's true
E
I can't even pray it at night
E
Just never comes out right
[Chorus]
E D
But when I sing about you
A
Every word is at my command
E
My guitar comes alive in my hand

When I sing about you

When I sing about you
A
Every note seems to be right on key

Oh, it all sounds so right to me
A
When I sing about you
[Verse 3]

I wrote it down, but I can't send it
E
It's all wrong, so I'll have to mend it again
E
How many times has it been?
[Verse 4]
A
I love you, think I could show it
E
Though it's true, you'll never know that I care
E
It really doesn't seem fair
[Chorus]
E D
But when I sing about you
A
Every word is at my command
E
My guitar comes alive in my hand
A
When I sing about you

When I sing about you

Every note seems to be right on key

Oh, it all sounds so right to me
A
When I sing about you
[Outro]

Oh, it all sounds so right to me
