Hall and Oates
Intro: A   A9   A   DM72x
Don't wanna A9open your Aheart
You're A9afraid from the Astart
That a DM7new love's gonna get you down,
There was A9something you should Aknow
Before you A9give up and Ago
I don't DM7believe in a run-around Bm7  
I just wanted to C#m7find myself
And sDM7how you C#m7how I Bm7feel.
Chorus:
If a promise ain't DM7enoughE

Then a touch says everything
Gotta hold you in my DM7armsE

Do you feel what I mean
Know that my DM7heart just tells me Ewhat to say
But words can C#m7only prove so F#mmuch
If a promise ain't DM7enoughE  
Hold on to my lAove.
Though my woA9rds can't Adescribe
How I'm A9feelin' all iAnside,
Does my DM7touch say anything to you,
I'm not A9afraid to take Atime
'Cause I A9know you'll Afind,
That I'm DM7real and my touch is true,Bm7  
It's taken a lifetime to C#m7find my heart
And I DM7give it C#m7all to Bm7you.
(Repeat Chorus) A   DM72x
DM7Oh yeah

Bm7Oh, it took a lifetime to C#m7find what I want
I won't DM7let it C#m7get aBm7way.
