Em C(2x)
[Verse 1]
There's a Emtime when the heart can no longer give in
You'll try to stDand up and fight
You've known pCain for so long and you know what's gone wrong
But you cDan't make it right
EmAnother broken heart is all your feeling
How cDan you go on
But the memorCies of times there was lAmove in your eyes
Keep lB7eading me on
[Chorus]
If it were yCou
Would you hDold on and hGope that it mCight
Bring back the drDeams we once knEmew
Or just gCive up forDever that pGart of your lCife
CTell me what you would do
If it were yEmouG
[Verse 2]
You can nEmever take back all you've given in love
No matter hDow hard you try
Once it's Cover and done you just have to let go
Though a pDart of you died
EmAnother waste of time is all that's left now
But lDife must go on
All the nCights that we spent, never thAmought they would end
Why cB7an't they go on

Bring back the drDeams we once knEmew

I never know
C5 D5 C5 A#5
What you're going to do
D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 G5
You're always so far away
D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 C5 A#5
Down below, you used to tell the truth
D5 C5 D5 C5 D5 G5
Now you're looking for something to say
D5
You give me those eyes
C5
And then look away
A#5 C5
Do you want me down on my knees
D5
Are you living a lie
C5
Is this some kind of game
A#5 C5
Baby, won't you tell me please
A#5 C5
Give me one good reason to stay
A#5
When you won't come
C5
Right out and say
[Chorus]
F5 A#5
Who do you love
C5 D5
What makes you happen
F5 A#5 C5 G5
What do you need for satisfaction

Is it just about a good time, good time

Who do you love

D5
I wish you'd lie
C5
Or tell me the truth
A#5 C5
So I can decide for myself
D5
Maybe you've tried
C5
What we used to do
A#5 C5
With somebody, somewhere else
A#5 C5
Give me one good reason to stay
A#5
When you won't come
C5
Right out and say
[Chorus]
F5 A#5
Who do you love
C5 D5
What makes you happen
F5 A#5 C5 G5

Walking through time

Reaching for yesterday

Because we're frightened of tomorrow

Trying to find

I remember the look in your eyes

Love we made unafraid

Now we've opened the window

Because the pieces won't fit into place

But no matter what happens

We can't let it end this way

So far away

So close to something new

But we're holding off tomorrow

Maybe someday

We'll find what we need to do, until then

We'll be doing the best that we can

Out of rhyme, out of time

While we're hiding our feelings
A D A
We're leaving love behind

Because the memory of you
