INTRO: D // G // Bm // A // VERSE I:
D                    G                A
Every single time I see you, start to feel this way

D                      G           A
Makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again

D                  G              A
There's a picture hanging in the back of my head

D                 G     A
I see it over and over

        Bm            A/C#       D
I wanna hold you, and love you, in my arms and then

        Bm                 A/C#        D
I wanna need you, 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end

   Bm            A/C#              D
But then I hear myself reply "You've gotta hold it in

     G5        A5
this time, tonight"
CHORUS:
D     G       Bm              A
 If only... I had the guts to feel this way

D     G           Bm              A
 If only... you'd look at me and want to stay

Bm              G              A
 If only... I'd take you in my arms and say

G5          A5
"I won't go 'cause I need you"
D // G // Bm // A VERSE II:
D                              G                 A
I sit here waitin', wonderin', hopin', that I'll make this right

D                                G                    A
'Cause all I think about is your hands, your face, and all these lonely nights

D                        G                A
There's a feeling that's screaming in the back of my head

D                 G     A
Saying it over and over

        Bm             A/C#     D
I wanna hold you, and love you, in my arms and then

        Bm                 A/C#       D
I wanna need you, 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end

Bm            A/C#               D
Then I hear myself reply "She'll never let you in

    G5      A5
this time, tonight"
- REPEAT CHORUS - (and then add this)
G5              A5
Please don't go, 'cause I need you now
BRIDGE:
Em7                   D
I want to hear you say it'll always be this way

A                             D              Bm
and we'll be hand in hand for every night and every day

Em7                       D
I want to scream and shout 'cause I'm losing every doubt

A                       D             Bm
and all I care about is you and me and us and now
