D                  A7           Em
Let me be patient, let me be kind
         A                      D
Make me unselfish without bein' blind
D            A7                   Em
Though I may suffer, I'll envy it not
         A                                     D
And endure what comes, 'cause he's all that I got and tell him

           A
Tell him I need him
           Em
Tell him I love him
           A7
And it'll be alright
    D    A
And tell him
         Em
It'll be alright
         A7
It'll be alright

Now I may have faith, to make mountains fall
But if I lack love, then I am nothin' at all
         A                       Em
If I can give away, everything I possess
                 A                   D
But I'm without love then I have no happiness
           A7                        Em
I know I'm imperfect and not without sin
                 A                         D
But now that I'm older all childish things end 

and tell him
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him and
It'll be alright

Tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright

D
I'll never be jealous
A
And I won't be too proud
Em
'Cause love is not boastful
A
Ooh and love is not loud
A
Tell him I need him
Em
Tell him I love him
                              D,A,Em,Em
Everything is gonna, gonna be alright
Ooh,
Ooh,


Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on earth
But if I speak wrong, ooh, then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared and tell him

Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him and
It'll be alright

Tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright and

Tell him
It'll be alright
It'll be alright
Ooh
