capo 1
G D Em
I'll mark your every word
Am
I'll wear the smile you gave me
C D
Somehow it seemed you saved me
G D Em
And if I'm about to fall
Am
May I go out like this
C D
May I go out like this
C
And I've tried thinking more poetic
D
But it's only easy if you let it
Am
I swear that you will never regret it
C
I swear that you will never regret it
G D Em
When all the ships are down,
Am
and you're not the hottest thing around town
C D
You need a hand to save me
G D Em
Walk you through the maze
Am
We'll be lost here all the same
C D
Be lost here all the same
C
And I've tried thinking more poetic
D
But it's only easy if you let it
Am
I swear that you will never regret it
C
I swear that you will never regret it
C
I'll lose my breath for you
And I don't want it back
D
All that I have is yours
Went to the moon and back
Am C
so I can prove the fact
C
I'll lose my breath for you
And I don't want it back
D
All that I have is yours
Went to the moon and back
Am C D
so I can prove the fact
G D Em
So if you give me this one chance
Am
I'll show you how I see you
C D
When memories decieve you
G D Em
Right here is where I stand
Am
I hope you understand
C D
I hope you understand
C
And I've tried thinking more poetic
D
But it's only easy if you let it
Am
I swear that you will never regret it
C
I swear that you will never regret it
C
And I've tried thinking more poetic
D
But it's only easy if you let it
Am
I swear that you will never regret it
C
I swear that you will never regret it
