C Em D C
G D
Feet don't fail me now
G D
Take me to the finish line
All my heart
C Em
It breaks every step that I take
D
But I'm hoping at the gates
They'll tell me that you're mine
G D
Walking through the city streets
G D
Is it by mistake or design?

I feel so alone on a Friday night
D
Can you make it feel like home
If I tell you you're mine
It's like I told you honey

Don't make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough
When the road gets tough
I don't know why

Keep making me laugh

Let's go get high

Road's long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime

Come and take a walk on the wild side

Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain

You like your girls insane
Em
Choose your last words

This is the last time

Cause you and I, we were born to die

Lost but now I am found

I can see but once I was blind

I was so confused as a little child
D
Tried to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn't find
All the answers, honey

Don't make me sad

Don't make me cry

Sometimes love is not enough
When the road gets tough
I don't know why

Try to have fun in the meantime
