[intro]
AOf course you decided to sDtand on your oGwn
When the paEmin has come, and has gGone
Oh, I gueEmss I probably love you moGre than I want
[verse 1]
AShow me the man who would have shDown moGre
AGive me the lion's share of yDour loGve
EmBut see a smallest splinter lGocked up away forever
EmIf that's love you wished forG  
[verse 2]
AShow me the men who won your whDole heGart
AHit me again cause I've been sDewn uGp
EmEach day is like the other, I Gsit alone and wonder
EmWhat's left to ask forG  
[verse 3]
AGive me a kiss and tell me DI'm alrigGht
