Lyrics

I don’t have much to give, but (B)I don’t care for (A)gold.

What use (F#m)is mon ey, when you need some one to (E)hold?

Don’t have di rec tion, I’m just (B)roll ing down this (A)road,

wait ing (F#m)for you to bring me in from out the (E)cold.

You’ll (F#m)nev er know the end less nights, the (Emaj7)rhym ing of the rain,

or (A)how it feels to fall be hind

and (B)watch you call his name.

Pack up and leave ev ’ry thing.

Don’t you see what I can bring?

Can’t keep

this beat ing (F#m)heart at (E)bay.

Set my mid night sor row free.

I will give you all of me.

Just (C#m)leave your (F#)lo ver,

leave him (E)for me.

(C#m)Leave your (F#7)lo ver,

leave him for me.

We sit in bars and raise our (B)drinks to grow ing (A)old.

Oh, I’m (F#m)in love with you and you will nev er (E)know.

But if I can’t have you I’ll (B)walk this life a (A)lone,

spur you (F#m)the ris ing storm and let the ri vers (E)flow.

(F#m)nev er know the end less nights, the (Emaj7)rhym ing of the rain,

or (A)how it feels to fall be hind

and (B)watch you call his name.

Pack up and leave ev ’ry thing.

Don’t you see what I can bring?

Can’t keep

this beat ing (F#m)heart at (E)bay.

Set my mid night sor row free.

I will give you all of me.

Just (C#m)leave your (F#)lo ver,

leave him (E)for me.

(C#m)Leave your (F#7)lo ver,

leave him for me.

leave him (E)for me.

(C#m)Leave your (F#)lo ver,

leave him (E)for me.
