Lyrics

I had a dream the oth er (F)night,

a bout how we on ly get one (Dm)life.

Woke me up right af ter two, stayed a wake and stared at (Csus4)you so I would n’t lose my (F)mind.

And I had the week that came from hell,

and yes I know that you could (Dm)tell.

But you’re like the net un der the ledge when I go fly ing off the edge you go fly ing off as (F)well.

And if we’re (Dm)on ly here once (C)I want to live with… (F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

(you)

(F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

(you)

(you)

(you)

Last night I think I drank too (F)much,

call it our tem po rar y crutch.

With brok en words I’ve tried to say, ho ney don’t you be a if we got noth ing, we got us.

And if we’re (Dm)on ly here once, I

wan na live with...

(F)You got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple, there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

I know that we’re not the same,

but I’m so damn glad that we made it to this time,

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once,

I wan na live with you.

Yeh,

In this world full of peo ple, there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

(F)You’ve got some thing I need.

In this (Dm)world full of peo ple, there’s one lov ing me.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live with you.

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once, (Hey!) I wan na live...

And if we’re (Bb)on ly here once,
