Lyrics

I don’t need you to sell me on rea sons to want you

I don’t need you to search for the proof that I (G)should

You don’t have to con (Gsus)vince me

You don’t have to be (G)scared you’re (B7)not e (Em7)nough

’Cause (A)what we’ve got go in’ all is good

I don’t need more re mind ers of all that’s been bro ken

I don’t need you to fix what I’d rath er for (G)get

Clear the slate and start (Gsus)o ver

Try to qui et the (G)nois es (B7)in your (Em7)head

’Cause (A)We can’t com pete with all that good

So what if it’s us?

What if it’s (Em7)us and on ly (Gsus)us?

And what came be fore won’t count an y more, or mat ter Can we try (G)that?

What if it’s you?

And what if it’s (Em7)me?

And what if that’s all that we need it to be?

And the rest of the world falls a (Am7)way

What do you say?

(Gsus2)I nev er thought there’d be some one like you who would want me

So (D)I give you ten thou sand (G)rea sons to not let me go

But if you real ly see me

If you like me for (Dsus)me and noth ing (Bm7)else

Well, that’s (E9)all that I’ve want ed for (Asus)long er than you could (A7sus)pos si bly know

The world falls a way

The world falls a way

And it’s on ly us
