(VERSE):The problem here is not my fear
The trouble is you can't convince yourself
For tonight, let's lose the past
Make love last
Put our worries up on the shelf
We've been through thick and thin, and back again
And we can endure love's sweet pain
Remember, starting the fire is easy
The hardest part is learning how to keep the flame
Love's like walking a real fine line
You get too close and you'll go blind
Let go too long and it will all drift away
(Repeat Chorus):
(BRIDGE):(E)Just when I feel like I'm (F#m)losin' you
I (G#m)hear them voices call(A)
They (E)say it's better to have (F#m)lost at love
Than (G#m)never to have loved at all(A)
Lose or win, stand or fall
Well, there's more to love than makin' time
The harder you look, the more you'll find
It's never easy, no matter what they say
