             A
I could walk on

                                    B7
Tell myself there's no room for you in my life

                        Esus4
Pretend there's nothin' left inside

         E         A     E
And just throw us away
[Pre Chorus]
              A
But I still believe

                               B7
If you asked I'd walk into the fire for you

Oh.., don't wanna leave you here like this

Just say the word

I can surely stand a little compromise

                Esus4
Reach out to me with your eyes

         E             A    E
And I'll meet you half way
[Pre Chorus]
                     A
Give me some kind of sign

                                     B7
Show me there's some hope for love inside your heart

      D                     A

Won't it hurt more if we let it in?
