When It’s Time
Written by Green Day
I tabbed this from the version of the song from the American Idiot musical, not what
Day usually plays live (that version's just chords). Not everything is perfect but I got it
sound really close to the recording. Please rate and comment with improvements.

Words get trapped in my mind, sorry if I don’t take the time to
feel the way I do. ‘Cause the

When it’s time, to say, I love you.

All I want is you to understand, that

when I take your hand, it's 'cause I want to.

We are all born in a world of doubt

But there's no doubt, I figured out

I love you.
(This is played very *faint* (therefore might not be perfectly accurate) after “I love
and before the 2nd verse)

And I feel lonely for all the losers that will never take the

Yet they’ll never have someone like you to guide them and help along the way.
Or tell them
G D (play intro)
When it's time to say I love you.

So tell me when it's time to say I love you.

Oooooooooh, oooooooh
(not completely sure about that last chord)
Enjoy & play on :)
i know you did this but people can just look up the tab for Wake Me Up When September Ends if they want to play it like this..
It's not all the same as When September Ends. REALLY appreciate your effort in tabbing this man, cause I was really looking for this version. Thanks buddy! 5 stars!
this songs is not by green day.
it is a cover performed by 'cast of the american idiot'
green day has a completely different version and that song is far better than this one.
