Lyrics

You on ly stay with me in the morn ing.

just You on ly hold me when I sleep.

And I can I was meant to tread the wa ter,

but now I’ve got ten in too deep.

For ev ’ry piece of me that wants one.

you,

an oth er piece backs a way.

’Cause (Em7)you

give me some thing that (G)makes me scared al right.

This could be noth ing, but I’m (G7)will ing to give (G7)it a try.

Please give me some thing ’cause (G7)some day I might know

my (C)heart.

You on ly wait ed up for the hours ing.

just to spend a lit time a with me.

And I can say I’ve nev er brought you flow ers.

but I can’t work out what they mean.

I nev er thought that I’d love some one.

you,

an That was some one ’s dream.

’Cause (Em7)you

give me some thing that (G)makes me scared al right.

This could be noth ing, but I’m (G7)will ing to give (G7)it a try.

Please give me some thing ’cause (G7)some day I might know

my (C)heart.

thing ’cause (G)some day I might call you (Dm7)from my heart.

But it (Bb)might be a (F)sec ond too (C7)late.

And the (Ebmaj7)words that I could nev er say

gon na (CN.C.)come out an y way,

oh.

’Cause (Em7)you

give me some thing that (G)makes me scared al right.

This could be noth ing, but I’m (G7)will ing to give (G7)it a try.

Please give me some thing.

’Cause thing ’cause (G7)some day I might know
