[Verse]
 GWhy do I try to hBmide
 GThese feelings deep inBmside?
 BmBut tonight seems too long
    Em            A5(9) Asus2
To live this life, all alone
 GI guess I'll have to wBmait
 GIt's almost more than I can tBmake
 GIs it written in tBmhe stars?
This kEmingdom in your eyes
      A5(9)
This world could be ours
So I'm lEmetting go tonight
     A5(9)          Asus2
And handing you the knife
[Chorus]
If you cut me wide Gopen
There's love here unspBmoken
A heart overflGowing
Dreaming of your Bmkiss
I'm standing here hGoping
For the moment you saBmy when
Touching your sEmkin, giving
