Lyrics

Wait ing here un der neath your win dow,

hop ing for some (Asus2)kind of sign.

Ev ’ry move ev ’ry ti ny ges ture,

on ly proves that (Asus2)you’re not mine.

I could write you a thou sand love songs,

search the world for the per fect (C#m7)tune and rhyme, but what good would it do when it seems (A)I’m

out of (A)time.

If I told you

all the words I’ve yet to say, would they mat ter or would you sim ply turn and walk a way?

(E)If I hold you,

will you tell me I should go?

Do I chance it or would it just be bet ter not to know?

Who’s that girl with the per fect fu ture?

Her re flec tion says it all.

Try ing hard to pre tend she’s ea ger,

search ing for some way to (F)stall.

So un sure of the road she’s cho sen,

faced with feel ings her heart should not al low.

One thing’s cer tain: it seems that she just can’t

turn back (F)now.

If she (Em7)can,

tell her (G)how.

If I told you

all the words I’ve all to the words, would they

ter or would you sim ply turn and walk a way?

If I hold you, I hold you.

will you tell me I should go?

Do I chance it or would it just be bet ter not to know?

Would it just be (G)bet ter

not to (D)know,

not to (D)know?
