Lyrics

If (Dsus)you’re not the one, then why does my soul feel (Csus2)glad

to day?

If (Dsus)you’re not the one, then why does my hand fit (Csus2)yours

in this way?

If (Dsus)you are not mine, then why does your heart re (Csus2)turn

my call?

If (Dsus)you were not mine, would I have the strength to (Csus2)stand

as at all?

I’ll nev er know what the fu ture brings, but I (D)know you’re here with me now.

We’ll make it through and I hope you are the one I (C)share my life

with.

I don’t wan na run a way, but I can’t take it, I don’t un der stand.

If I’m not (Am7)made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there an y way that I could stay

in your arms?

If and I wish that you could be the (C)one I die

with,

and I pray that you’re the one I (C)build my home

with.

I hope I love you all my life.

I don’t wan na run a way, but I can’t take it, I don’t un der stand.

If I’m not (Am7)made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there an y way that I could stay

in your arms?

’Cause I (Em)miss you,

(C)bod y and soul, so strong that it takes my (C)breath a way, and I breathe

you

(C)in to my heart and pray for the strength to (C)stand to day.

’Cause I love

you

(C)wheth er it’s wrong or right,

and though I can’t (G)be with you to night,

you know my heart is (D)by your

(G)side.

I don’t wan na run a way, but I can’t take it, I don’t un der stand.

If I’m not (Am7)made for you, then why does my heart tell me that I am?

Is there an y way that I could stay

in your arms?
