(Eb)Turn down the (Gm7)lights,

turn down the (Eb)bed,

turn down these (Bb)voic es (Gm7)in side my (Cm7)head.

(Eb)Lay down with (Gm7)me,

tell me no (Eb)lies.

Just hold me (Bb)close,

(Gm7)don’t pa tron (Cm7)ize.

Don’t pa tron (Bb)ize

me.

’Cause (Bb)I can’t (Eb)make you (Bb)love me if you don’t.

You can’t make your (Bb)heart feel (Bb)some thing it (Eb)won’t.

(Gm7)Here in the (Bb)dark

in (F)these fi nal (Gm7)hours,

I will lay down my (Bb)heart

and (F)I’ll feel the (Gm7)pow er.

But (Cm7)you won’t,

no, (G)you (D)won’t.

’Cause I can’t (C)make you (G)love me

if you (C)don’t.

(C)I’ll close my (Em7)eyes,

then I won’t (C)see

the love you don’t (G)feel

And I will give up this fight.
