So it won't wash away if I don't come home for weeks

And I don't come home...

I never said
This would be easy

So whisper softly
And don't forget
Bb5
To tell me how you feel in five words or less
C#5 A5 Bb5
I knew I should have never offered you the world
C#5 C5 Bb5 C5
The nights are full of faces you're the only girl
C#5 A5 Bb5
Turn my world from disaster
C#5 C5 Bb5 C5
Make my heart start beating faster

Ask the question, here's the answer

I need you now and I can't stand this
