I’m Not Sayin’ (That I Love You) --- Gordon Lightfoot

 

[D]I’m not [G]sayin’ that I [D]love you,

I’m not [G]sayin’ that I’ll [D]care

[G]If you [D]love me.

 

[G]I’m not sayin’ that I’ll [A]care,

I’m not [G]sayin’ I’ll be [A]there

When you [D]want me.

 

Now I [G]may not be a-[A]lone each time you [D]see me,

A-[G]long the street or [A]in a small ca-[D]fé

But [G]still I won’t de-[A]ny you or mis-[D]treat you

[E]Baby, if you’ll let me have my [A]way. [A7]

 

[D]I’m not [G]sayin’ I’ll be [D]sorry,

[D]For all the [G]things that I might [D]say

[G]That make you [D]cry.

 

I can’t [G]say I’ll always [A]do

The [G]things you want me [A]to

I’m not [G]sayin’ I’ll be [A]true

But I’ll [D]try.

 

Now I can’t [G]give my heart to [D]you,

Or tell you [G]that I’ll sing your [D]name

[G]Up to the [D]sky.

 

I can’t [G]lay the promise [A]down,

That I’ll [G]always be a-[A]round

When you [D]need me.

 

Now I [G]may not be a-[A]lone each time you [D]see me,

Or [G]show up when I [A]promised that I [D]would.

But [G]still I won’t de-[A]ny you or mis-[D]treat you

[E]Baby, it you love me like you [A]should. [A7]

 

[D]I’m not [G]sayin’ I’ll be [D]sorry,

[D]For all the [G]things that I might [D]say

[G]That make you [D]cry.

 

I can’t [G]say I’ll always [A]do

The [G]things you want me [A]to

I’m not [G]sayin’ I’ll be [A]true

But I’ll [D]try.
