Verse 1
Am 
At  this stage it should
be said this could be nothing
D 
or this it could be great
And all my grand plans could
E 
be thrown into disarray
But I must take the blame a
half- hard word
a broken promise
F 
Is that really you offers?
Is that really you're offering me?

sometimes I want to hold you
tight and sometimes I

that I don't
understand and I probably never will
