Verse 1
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
I        have a picture
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
Pinned   to my wall
Csus2 Csus2 
 
An image    of you and of me and we're laughing,
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
we're loving    it all
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
But look     at our life now
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
All tattered and torn
Csus2 Csus2 
 
We fuss     and we fight and delight in the tears
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
that we cry       until dawn

Chorus 1
Oh, whoa
Dadd9 Dadd9 
 
Hold     me now, whoa
Bmadd9 Bmadd9 
 
Warm      my heart
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Stay     with me
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Let loving    start
Let loving start

Verse 2
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
You say      I'm a dreamer, we're two      of a kind
Csus2 Csus2 
 
Both     of us searching for some perfect world
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
we know we'll     never find
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
So perhaps     I should leave here
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
Yeah, yeah, and go       far away
Csus2 Csus2 
 
But you know     that there's nowhere that
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
I'd rather be than with you       here today

Chorus 2
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Dadd9 Dadd9 
 
Hold     me now, whoa
Bmadd9 Bmadd9 
 
Warm      my heart
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Stay     with me
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Let loving    start
Let loving start, whoa
Dadd9 Dadd9 
 
Hold     me now, whoa
Bmadd9 Bmadd9 
 
Warm      my heart
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Stay     with me
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Let loving    start

Verse 3
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
You ask      if I love you
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
Well, what     could I say?
Csus2 Csus2 
 
You know     that I do and that this is just one of
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
those games     that we play
Dsus2 Dsus2 
 
So I'll sing     you a new song
Bsus2 Bsus2 
 
Please don't cry      anymore
Csus2 Csus2 
 
I'll even ask      your forgiveness
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Though I don't know just what I'm asking    it for

Chorus 3
Oh, whoa, oh, whoa
Dadd9 Dadd9 
 
Hold     me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Bmadd9 Bmadd9 
 
Warm      my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Stay     with me
(Stay with me)
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Let loving    start
Let loving start, whoa
Dadd9 Dadd9 
 
Hold     me now, whoa
(Hold me in your loving arms)
Bmadd9 Bmadd9 
 
Warm      my heart
(Warm my cold and tired heart)
Cadd9 Cadd9 
 
Stay     with me
(Stay with me)
A7sus4 A7sus4 
 
Let loving    start
Let loving start, whoa
