Lyrics

(F)I can hear you down stairs (Bbmaj7)cry ing on the phone

(F)tell ing some one that I’m here but you (Bbmaj7)still feel all a lone.

(F)May be we were too young.

Good bye, I’ve got ta go.

I can (F)hear the ba by wak ing up, got to (Bbmaj7)get back to the life I know.

I should have nev er be lieved you.

May be I should just leave you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got left to be lieve in.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

And I know that it’s been hard and it’s been a long time com ing.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

(F)No one thought I was good e nough for you ex cept for you.

Don’t let them be right af ter all that we’ve been through.

(Gm7)Some where o ver that rain bow there’s a place for me.

A place with you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got left to be lieve in.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

And I know that it’s been hard and it’s been a long time com ing.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

In ev ’ry frame up on our wall (Bb)lies a face that’s seen it all.

Ups and downs and then more downs.

We helped each oth er off of the ground.

(Gm)No one knows what we’ve been through.

(Bb)Mak in’ it ain’t mak in’ it (C)with out you.

May be I’m not but you’re all I’ve got (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

I’m a (Dm7)bout to come a live.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.

Don’t give up on me, I’m a (Ebsus2)bout to come a live.
