Lyrics

(A)I can’t fight the feel ing an y long er.

And (Bm)yet I’m still a fraid to let it flow.

What (A)start ed out as friend ship has grown (G)strong er.

I on ly (Bm)wish I had the strength to let it show.

I (A)tell my self that I can’t hold out for ev er.

I (Bm)said there is no rea son for my fear.

’Cause I feel so se cure when we’re to geth

er.

You give my life di rec tion, you make ev ’ry thing so clear.

And (D)e ven as I wan der, I’m (C#m7)keep ing you in sight.

You’re a (D)can dle in the wind oh, on a cold and dark win ter’s (E)night.

And (D)I’m get ting clos er than (F#m)I ev er thought I might.

And I can’t fight this feel ing an y more.

I’ve for got ten what I (A)start ed fight ing for.

It’s time to bring this ship in to the shore

and (C#m)throw a way the oars for ev er.

’Cause I can’t fight this (A)feel ing an y more.

I’ve for got ten what I (A)start ed fight ing for.

And if I have to crawl up on the floor,

come (C#m)crash ing through your door,

ba by (Esus2/4)I can’t fight this feel ing an y more.

My (Bm7)take me to the pla ces that a lone I’d nev er find.

And (D)e ven as I wan der, I’m (C#m7)keep ing you in sight.

You’re a (D)can dle in the wind oh, on a cold and dark win ter’s (E)night.

And (D)I’m get ting clos er than (F#m)I ev er thought I might.

And I can’t fight this feel ing an y more.

I’ve for got ten what I (A)start ed fight ing for.

It’s time to bring this ship in to the shore

and (C#m)throw a way the oars for ev er.

’Cause I can’t fight this (A)feel ing an y more.

I’ve for got ten what I (A)start ed fight ing for.

And if I have to crawl up on the floor,

come (C#m)crash ing through your door,

ba by (Esus2/4)I can’t fight this feel ing an y more.
