Lyrics

(Dm)Some say

I’ll be bet ter (Am)with out you,

but they don’t know you (Gm)like I do,

or at least the sides I thought I knew.

I can’t (Dm)bear this time,

it drags on as I (Am)lose my mind,

re mind ed by the (Gm)things I find,

like notes and clothes you’ve left be hind.

(Dm)Wake me up,

wake me up when (Am)all is done, I won’t rise un til this (Gm)bat tle’s won,

my dig ni ty’s be come un done.

But (Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I can’t do it (Bbmaj7)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take a (Dm)risk.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I can’t do it (C)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

So pet ri fied, I’m so scared to step in (Am)to this ride.

What if I lose my heart and (Gm)fail, de clined.

I won’t for give me if I give up try ing.

I heard his (Dm)voice to day, I did n’t know a sin gle (Am)word he said, not one re sem blance to the (Gm)man I met.

Just a va cant, bro ken boy in stead.

But (Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Gm7)risk.

There will (Am7)be times

we’ll try to (Dm)give it up,

burst ing at the seams, no doubt.

(Gm7)We’ll al most fall a part, then burn (Am7)the piec es,

(Bbmaj7)so watch them turn to dust,

but (A7)noth ing will ev er taint us.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I can’t do it (Bbmaj7)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I can’t do it (C)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

Will he,

will he still re (Am)mem ber me?

Will he still love me e ven (Gm)when he’s free?

Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poi son (Dm)o ver me?

When we spoke yes ter (Am)day, he said to hold my breath and sit and (Gm)wait, I’ll be home so soon, I won’t be late.

(Gm7)He (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

he can’t do it (Bbmaj7)on his (Am7)own.

if this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

He’s will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

So (Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

He can’t do it (C)on his (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

’Cause (Gm7)he (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

he can’t do it (Bbmaj7)on his (Am7)own.

if this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

We’re will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

So (Gm7)I (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,

I can’t do it (C)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain’t love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I’m will ing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

’Cause (Gm7)he (Am7)won’t (Bbmaj7)go,
