(Bb)Let’s be ex (F)posed and un pro (Dm)tect ed.

(Bb)Let’s see one an (F)oth er when we’re (Dm)weak.

(Bb)Let’s go our (F)se p’rate ways in the (C)night like two (Dm)moths.

But (Bb)know that you’re (F)fly ing home to (C)me.

I was (Bb)born

think ing it would (F)all be dream ing, but I (C)know that I would n’t be (Dm7)hap py that way.

You (Bb)wear me out with frus tra tion and (F)heart ache and an ger.

But we (G7)wait for the waves just to (Bbm7)wash it a way.

(Dm)Don’t

say

(Bb)noth in’,

just (Gm)sit

next to (F)me.

(Dm)Don’t

say

(Bb)noth in’.

(Shh.)

Just (Gm7)be, just (Bb)be, just be.

(Bb)wear you out with frus tra tion and (F)heart ache and an ger.

But we (G7)wait for the waves just to (Bbm7)wash it a way.

(Dm)Don’t

say

(Bb)noth in’,

just (Gm)sit

next to (F)me.

(Dm)Don’t

say

(Bb)noth in’.

(Shh.)

Just (Gm7)be, just (Bb)be, just (F)be.

Oh.

When you’re (C9sus4)sick of the (F)ev ’ry day.

When you’re (C9sus4)tired of my (F)voice.

When you (C)tell me you’ll (Dm7)walk out that door, that’s (G7)when I know

that you’ll (Bbm)stay.

Oh.

(Dm)Don’t
