G5          Csus2       A7sus4   Dsus4
Should have told you by now
G5    Csus2             A7sus4     Dsus4
But I can't find the words
G5          Csus2       A7sus4    Dsus4
If I could show you somehow
G5     Csus2          A7sus4    Dsus4
But I don't have the nerve
 
C                Bm
You don't see me looking at you
Am                 G
How can love be so blind
C                        Bm
Somehow you don't notice me
C                    D                 Dsus4
Sooner or later yeah, there will come a time
 
[Chorus]
G                 D
If you needed somebody
Am             B C        D7
The way that I   need you
G                 D
If you wanted somebody
Am             B C            D7   G5
 
Csus2 A7sus4 Dsus4  G5  Csus2 A7sus4 Dsus4
The   way    that I        want you         Oh yeah, the way that I want you
 
G5          Csus2      A7sus4    Dsus4
If I could hold you tonight
G5         Csus2     A7sus4   Dsus4
It would last me forever
G5        Csus2         A7sus4    Dsus4
But the time's never right
G5           Csus2  A7sus4      Dsus4
When will we be together
 
C                   Bm
If I could make you understand
Am                   G
What you're doing to me
C                       Bm
Maybe there will come a time
Am              C D                     D7
Sooner or later      I will make you see
 
[Chorus]
G                 D
If you needed somebody
Am             B C          D7
The way that I     need you
              G                 D
Baby tonight, if you wanted somebody
Am             B  C            D7
The way that I      want you
 
F               G
Ooh, if I could tell you now
F                   G
The way you make me feel
F               Em
Ooh, if I could show you somehow
F                          C
Don't you know my lovin' is so real

I think it's good. But I don't quite get what you mean by the double set of chords over the last line in the chorus.

The last F to C chords coming out of the bridge ("Don't you know my lovin' is so real") do not sound quite correct to that on the recording...
