How Can I Tell Him

                 Fm    Bb   Eb
It's the morning after
               Cm              
And we're on a train zigzagging 
              Fm     Bb    Eb
'cross the countryside
       Cm               Fm    Bb  
On our way home from a party
 Eb

            Cm          Fm Bb Eb Cm
That turned insane
                   Fm      Bb   Eb
He dozes off on my shoulder
               Cm       Fm    Bb  Eb
Wakes up suddenly, apologizes
                Cm
Looks the other way

[Chorus]
   Fm      Bb
So tell me how
Eb                   Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love 
him
   Fm      Bb    Eb  Cm
So tell me how

[Verse 2]
                    Fm    Bb  Eb
The neighbor came a-knocking
                     Cm
Said she'd call the cops
                            Fm    Bb
He said, "I'll turn down the stereo"
Continues after the ad
             Eb                Cm
Pretended to adjust the volume knob
         Fm    Bb
He's my best friend
           Eb            Cm
And we can talk about anything
   Fm              Bb
As long it's about nothing
   Eb               Cm
As long as it don't cut deeper than 
the skin

[Chorus]
Fm      Bb
Tell me how
Eb                Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love 
him
   Fm      Bb
So tell me how
Eb                Cm
Tell me how I can tell him I love 
him, so
Fm      Bb    Eb   Cm
Tell me how

[Bridge]
                  Fm
I mean I guess he knows
            Bb Eb           
Just like I know when he says 
            Cm                     
something funny and I laugh from my
   Fm    Bb Eb Cm
 belly
               Fm                  
Or when Sandra left him and I held 
            Bb
him when he cried
      Eb                 Cm       
For a moment he left his guard 
            Fm Bb Eb
down and so did I

[Verse 3]
                     Fm    Bb   
But it's so deep within me,     
Eb                   Cm
the way a man should be
                      Fm  Bb Eb  
Passed on through generations of 
           Cm
men before me
             Fm   Bb Eb Bb Eb  
A line drawn in the sand to 
       Cm
keep us apart
             Fm   Bb Eb          
A rusty, old padlock hanging on 
   Cm
our hearts
   Fm      Bb    Eb Cm
So tell me how

[Other]
                    Fm   Bb  Eb
We part ways at the station
             Cm                    
He's got his bike and he rides into
     Fm  Bb Eb
 the gap
               Cm
'Tween day and night
            Fm Bb Eb
Before he's gone
                   Cm
he shouts, "Later, dude"
         Fm   Bb
I think, "Yeah
Eb
I love you too"
