CAPO: 4th Fret
Intro: C G C G D C G C G Am D G
I was never a player
C G
Maybe in song, but not in love
On a wing and a prayer
Am D
I chased the dream I was dreaming of
G
Suddenly you were there
Pre-Chorus
C G
Behind the smile, behind a name
Am D G
After that summer day, I'd never be the same
Chorus:
Em
You ask me now
C D
How long a love can be
Am
I say, I don't know
Am7
But I will love one
D G C G Am
'Til you outnumber me
G
Inside it's rainy and cold
C G
And you're a thousand miles east
My phone can't reach your soul
Am D
And this night has no release
G
I'd rather buy than be sold
Pre-Chorus
C G
But even my money here won't do
Am D G
I won't be worth a thing, 'til I get next to you
Chorus:
Em
You ask me now
C D
How long a love can be
Am
I say, I don't know
Am7
But I will love one
D G
'Til you outnumber me
Am7
You are the one
D G
'Til you outnumber me
