Lyrics

Is love so (Eb)frag ile?

And the hearts so (Eb)hol low

shat ter with (Eb)words

im (Bb7sus)pos si ble to fol low.

You’re say in’ I’m (Eb)frag ile.

I try not to (Eb)be.

I search (Ab)on ly for some thin’ I can’t (Bb7sus)see.

I have my (Eb)own life,

and I am (Eb)strong er than you (Ab)know.

(Eb)But I car ry this (Eb)feel in’

when you walked in (Eb)to my house

that you won’t be (Eb)walk in’ out the door.

(Eb)Still I car ry this (Eb)feel in’

(Ab)when you walked in (Eb)to my house

that you won’t be (Eb)walk in’ out the door.

Lov ers for ev er,

face to face,

my cit y or (Bb)moun tains.

Stay with me, (Bb)stay.

I need you to love me.

I need you to day.

Give to me your (Bb)leath er.

Take (Ab)from me my (Bb7sus)lace.

You in the (Eb)moon light

with your (Eb)sleep y eyes,

could you ev er (Eb)love a man like (Bb7sus)me?

And you were (Eb)right:

when I walked in (Eb)to your house,

I knew I’d (Eb)nev er want to leave.

(Eb)Some times I’m a (Eb)strong man,

(Ab)some times cold and scared, and some times

I cry.

(Eb)But that time I saw you,

I (Ab)knew with you to light my nights,

(Eb)some how I’d get (Bb7sus)by.

(Bb7sus)lace.

Take (Ab)from me

my (Bb7sus)lace.

Take (Ab)from me

my (Bb7sus)lace.

Take (Bb7sus)lace.
