capo 4
verse 1
Am F
Remember when you said you loved me?
Em C
Remember when you said that it would all work out?
Am F
We packed up and we left one morning
Em C
And everything you promised didn't happen, and now
Am Em
I'm swirling softly
C Am
Drifting like the cream in your coffee
Am Em
And you're talking calmly
[Refrão] C
When I'm scared
G
To be on our own
Em F
When the thrill is gone
C
And I'm scared
G
Thinking what we've done
Em F
To try to love someone
Am C
Baby can you keep your promise?
Am C
Baby can I keep you honest?
Em
Cause I'm scared
(verse 2)
Am F
There's nothing in the sky above me
Em C
There's nothing strung below us, baby, if we fall
Am F
We're caught between a spark and lightning
Em C
We're caught between forever and nothing at all
Am Em
And I'm sorry, I love you
C Am
But even those words are getting see-through
Am E
And I'm losing it all to this feeling, baby
[Refrão]

Baby can I keep you honest?

When you say you love me

Is there something I can say?

When you say you love me

Is it better if I walk away?

When you say you love me?
