[Verse]
Em G6
For all the hours here that move too slow
C
There's all this letting go, that don't pass
Em G6
If all this love is real, how will we know?
C
If we're only scared of losing it, how will it last?
[Chorus]
Dadd4 Em C G
If I am a stranger now to you
C G C Dadd4
I will always be, I will always be
Dadd4 Em C G
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
C G
Our love will always be
C Dadd4 C
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
G Em7 Cadd9 G G Em7 Cadd9
[Verse]
Em G
Today is yesterday when you don't know
C
How to rebuild the walls that someone has knocked down
Em G
To tell the truth it's hard enough about a lover
C
Who you want to hide your darkness from
So they won't let you down
[Chorus]
D Em C G
If I am a stranger now to you
C G C D
I will always be, I will always be
D Em C G
Stronger now then me, stronger then you
C G
Our love will always be
C Dadd4 C
And if we let it go, I will try to be there for you
Dadd4
I will try and be there for you
If I can, what if I can't?
