You want com (E major) mitment
Take a (Esus4) look into these eyes
They burn with (E major) fire (Yeah)

To have you (B major) in these arms tonight

Verse 3
We stared at the (E major) sun
And we made a (Esus4) promise
A promise this (E major) world
would never (Esus4) blind us
And these were our (C sharp minor7) words

Our songs are our (C sharp minor7) prayers
These prayers keep me strong
And I still be (A major) lieve
If you were (B major) in these arms
Chorus 2
(E major) I'd hold you, (B major) I'd need you
(C sharp minor) I'd get down on (A major) my knees for you

If you were (A major) in these arms
(E major) I'd love you, (B major) I'd please you
(C sharp minor) I'd tell you that I'd (A major) never leave you
(E major) And love you (E/G#) 'til the end of time (Bsus4)
