Intro 1

Verse 1
Em 
I've been skeptical
Am 
about all of those fairytales
F 
G 
that happened a long time ago
C 
When love came at first sight
and everything turned out right
F 
What happened then, I'll never know
D 
Em 
I'm not a little child,
Am 
F 
haven't been for quite a while
G 
And I don't fall that easily
But I'm glad that we took this chance
C 
F 
Even if it's just this dance
G 
Maybe it'll last for a night or two
Em 
Mama, we was so sad,
Am 
must hurt you pretty bad
F 
G 
We're hot out on your sleeve
A man like you should know,
C 
if you really let her go
F 
There's plenty of fish in the sea
G 
Em 
C 
Tell me how long will you go on
F 
G 
Too hurt to give your heart away
D 
G 
Too scared to live,
C 
every tooth's right,
F 
G 
clinging to yesterday
D 
Em 
G 
Am 
I'm glad you came to me,
not just a remedy
F 
G 
To help you overcome a broken heart
D 
And while you may not forget,
G 
C 
I know that we've just met
F 
G 
I  believe it's at least a start
Em 
Though you say your heart is  numb,
Am 
offer me a little crumb,
F 
D 
G 
and I'll accept it like a feast
Love is patient, love is kind,
C 
G 
love can really fry your mind,
F 
but then, that's the nature of a beast
Em 
C 
Tell me how long will you go on,
F 
too hurt to give your heart away
G 
C 
Too scared to live, afraid to try,
F 
clinging to yesterday
Someone is having all the same
G 
love and more
F 
Though it's not so simple
G 
to understand
Fsus4 
Taking      up the pieces
G 
may not be easy
Am 
G 
Cm 
But I'll be glad to give you a hand

Am 
G 
I'd rather leave you by the

way
G 
Em 
G 
I'm not watching you
D 
Am 
I know you got things to do
F 
Em 
To start your life all over again
G 
But I  just want you to know
C 
That if we take it real slow
F 
Dsus4 
I can become your closest friend
G 
Em 
No need to run or hide
Am 
Just remember I'm on your side
F 
And I won't ask for what
G 
you can't give
Face it babe, what's done is done
C 
G 
It's time to be moving on
F 
Don't just survive
You've got to live,
C 
G 
Em 
C 
you've got to live
F 
G 
You've got to give it all away, baby
D 
G 
Too scared to live
C

Afraid to try

Tell me how long
Em

You've known
F 
You've got to give your heart away
