Lyrics

[Intro]
Yo, hehe, tell him um
Db
  Hu
               Dbmaj7/Ab         Ebm7
It's like, uhh,         you know,    uhh
  Ab7
Sweet, sweet,
Db   Dbmaj7/Ab
  Sweet       
Uhh
Ebm7 Ab7
        Mmm

[Verse 1]
Db/Ab              Dbmaj7/Ab        Ebm7
     Let me be patient, let me be kind  
               Ab7                 Db/Ab
Make me unselfish without being blind   
               Dbmaj7/Ab               Ebm7
Though I may suffer,    I'll envy it not   
                  Ab7
And endure what comes
                       Db/Ab
'Cause he's all that I got  to tell him

[Chorus]
     Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him      I need him
           Ebm7
Tell him I love him
               Ab7
And it'll be alright
    Db/Ab
And tell him
     Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him      I need him
  Ebm7
Tell  him I love him
           Ab7
It'll be alright

[Verse 2]
Db                  Dbmaj7/Ab                    Ebm7
  Now I may have faith       to make mountains fall
                Ab7                    Db/Ab
But if I lack love, then I am nothin' at    all
              Dbmaj7/Ab               Ebm7
I can give away        everything I possess
               Ab7                  Db/Ab
But left without  love then I have no    happiness
          Dbmaj7/Ab
I know I'm         imperfect,
               Ebm7
and not without    sin
But now that I'm older,
Ab7                    Db/Ab
   all childish things end

[Chorus]
And tell him
         Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him I        need him
           Ebm7
Tell him I love him
               Ab7
And it'll be alright
Db/Ab
Tell him
     Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him      I need him
    Ebm7
Tell    him I love him
           Ab7
It'll be alright

[Bridge]
Gbmaj7                     Fm7
      I'll never be jealous
                      Ebm7
And I won't be too proud
'Cause love is not boastful
                     Gbmaj7
Oooh and love is not loud  
                Fm7
Tell him I need him
               Ebm7
Tell him I love    him
Everything is gonna, is gonna be alright

[Pre-Verse]
Db    Dbmaj7/Ab
  Ooh,         wooh
  Ebm7        Ab7
Yeah. oh, yeah

[Verse 3]
Db/Ab                     Dbmaj7/Ab
     Now I may have wisdom
                   Ebm7
And knowledge on Earth 
                  Ab7
But if I speak wrong, ooh,
                Db/Ab
then what is it worth?
                Dbmaj7/Ab                Ebm7
See what we now know     is nothing compared
                    Ab7                             Db/Ab
To the love that was   shown when our lives were spared

[Chorus]
And tell him
         Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him I        need him
           Ebm7
Tell him I love him
               Ab7
And it'll be alright
   Db/Ab
Oh-oh   
Tell him
     Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell him      I need him
    Ebm7
Tell    him I love him
           Ab7
It'll be alright
  Db/Ab
Oh
           Dbmaj7/Ab
Tell oh him
       Ebm7
Tell him,  oh
      Ab7
It'll,   it'll be alright

[Outro (Fade Out)]
Db  Dbmaj7/Ab
Oh, oh       
    Ebm7
Yeah
     Ab7
Be alright
Db/Ab
     Oh
Dbmaj7/Ab
         In the night time
Ebm7
