Tom: G
G C
And I'm terrified in seeing how it rings and it carries
G A7 D D# D
You know it's been such a long time since I felt one inside
G
Call me too reserved
D
Cuz my armor's on
G C
Why should I open a pandora's box of rude complications?
G D G
The risk is too high for one more right gone wrong
[link]
Em Bm
Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing
D
And you can't stop it when you want to
C D
Even as bruises start to show
[link]
Em Bm
And true, taking chances gets you halfway there
Em D C
But I'm not ready yet
D C
My heart's too tattered and bent
G
And I move too slow
[Verse 2]
N.C. G D
You strike a certain chord in the thick of me
G C
And I'm too aware it's ringing out in you as within me
G A7 D D# D
I know you've had such a hard time to get me by your side
G D
But I've heard this song before in a different key
G C
And I fear we might be singing out too late or too early
G D G
To set the stage for one more right gone wrong
[link]
Em Bm
Cuz love is a very strong and sacred thing
D
But when he went without a warning
C G
My heart alone did take the blow
[link]
Em Bm
So I will trace my musings with this simple tune
Em D C
And until then, I'm content
Em D C G
Biding time on the fence in the woods I know
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
Em Bm
So please forgive me if I seem half there
D
I can't halt those old emotions
C G
Even though that chapter has closed
[link]
Em Bm
But I see the honesty that shines in you
Em D C D C
And I'm impressed that I've found that you're still hanging around
D C D Cmaj7 (let ring)
And I'm surprised at the sounds coming out of my mouth
C
[Coda]
G
When I say:
G# D D7 D Gmaj7
Okay, let's give it a go
