Verse 1
Bb 
G 
This vulnerability is killing me internally
Bb 
C 
Not feeling much stability
and I wish it could be easy
Bb 
G 
But it don't seem to be and so
I'm going to take it to the only
Bb 
C 
place that I know to go
Bb 
And lay these feelings in the
G 
hand of the creator
Bb 
C 
God of cre ation you show
me how to relate to her
Bb 
G 
Mean while, I'm thanking you for
lessons being learned
Bb 
C 
See my feelings have been shallow
but I've watched my heart turn
Bb 
G 
Yes, she looks good, yes she looks fly

Verse 2
Bb 
C 
But deep down I know there's
something more inside
Bb 
Just like I'm praying that
G 
there's more in me
Bb 
So when I look at she I just
C 
don't see naturally
Bb 
Not saying physically,
G 
that I'll deny the attraction
Bb 
C 
But all in all that's just
a simple satisfaction
Bb 
G 
That can be obtained through
a glance of the eye
Bb 
C 
This was five years ago,
Bb 
man how time flies by
G 
Beautiful soul full of spirit
Bb 
C 
Bb 
G 
I wonder
Bb 
C 
Bb 
G 
if she'd
Bb 
C 
hear
Bb 
it if I told her that she had a
G 
Bb 
Beautiful soul full of spirit
C 
A few year later

Verse 3
Bb 
Her mind in  trigues me
G 
It leaves me sort of sick
Bb 
C 
Wondering what makes the mystery chic tick,
Bb 
G 
history thick of pages and pages
Bb 
C 
Telling stories that can't be
summed up in quick phrases
Bb 
G 
She's observant so she's
seen my behavior
Bb 
C 
It's got me nervous wanting
to stay away from her
Bb 
G 
I pray for her daily as well as perspective,
Bb 
C 
Bat tling with pride and thoughts of being
Bb 
G 
rejected and that's just not appealing
It's almost enough to make you
Bb 
C 
disconnect your feelings or something
Bb 
G 
And try to move on and give them
to someone else
Bb 
But yet I care for her more
C 
than I care for myself
Bb 
Man who needs this
G 
I'm not even good with commitments

Verse 4
Bb 
C 
Plus I value my independence,
Bb 
G 
in the end it's probably
Just a waste of time spent or
Bb 
maybe
C 
Bb 
There's something more to this relationship

Bb 
C 
Bb 
G 
Bb 
C 
Bb 
G 
What's the point of caring
when it hurts so much
Bb 
C 
If this is what love comes with
I'd rather not touch it
Bb 
G 
C 
In  all honesty the outcome is un certain
Bb 
C 
And I do run the risk of walking
G 
away hurting
Bb 
G 
Searching for clarity,
spare me the despair
Bb 
C 
I'd rather be alone and not
even care
Bb 
G 
Than to share my  trust because
you can't control
Bb 
Fate so may be I'll be
C 
alone but at least it's safe
Bb 
I know that's stupid
G 
Probably my insecurity

Verse 5
Bb 
C 
Or maybe god is using this to
get through to me
Bb 
Because in the back of my mind
G 
Bb 
I'm always aware of pushing me toward
C 
s prayer and bettering my character
Bb 
G 
Making me thing about the man I want
Bb 
To become regardless of the
C 
situations outcome
Bb 
G 
Fast forward a few years into my life
Bb 
C 
Man this song about my wife took me five years to write
