UnCless you say we're going
GMaybe I've just come Aback again 
So CI can do the showing

'Cause Gdying would be Dnothing new to Emyou
Oh, Gmaybe not for a Dlifetime
But Emmaybe for a Creason I'll save Gyou

We Gdidn't love for Ashelter 
But we're Csafer now and it's cold out there
You Akeep me from Ckilling myself
GNot to say I Dwouldn't want to Embe yours
GMaybe yours for a Dlifetime 
And Emmaybe for a Creason, you'll save Gme

And Emmaybe for a Creason, you'll save GmeA  C
