You want com (E)mit ment,

They burn with (E)fire you,

I would do (C#m)an y thing, I’d beg, I’d steal, I’d die to have you (B)in these arms to night.

Ba by, I (E)want you

like the (A)ros es want the rain.

You know I (E)need you,

like the (A)po et needs the pain.

I would give (C#m)an y thing, my blood, my love, my life, if you were (B)in these arms to night.

Ba by, I (B)in these arms to night.

I’d hold you, I’d need you.

I’d get down on my knees for you,

and make (C#m)ev ’ry thing al right,

if you were (A)in these arms.

I’d love you, I’d please you.

I’d tell you that I’d nev er leave you,

and love you (E)till the end of time,

if you were (A)in these arms

to night.

We stared at the (E)sun,

and we made a (A)prom ise,

a prom ise this (E)world

would nev er (A)blind us.

These were our (C#m)words,

our words were our (A)songs.

Our songs are our (C#m)prayers.

These prayers keep me strong, and I still be (A)lieve,

if you were (B)in these arms,

I’d hold you, I’d need you, I’d get down on my knees for you,

and make (C#m)ev ’ry thing al right,

Your (B)clothes are still scat tered all o ver our room, this (A)whole place still smells like your cheap per fume.
