Tom: A
A
It's been a hard week, a hard year
D/A A D/A
And our love's been tested on every side
A A D/A
Between the homework and holidays and me on the road
A D/A
Been missing you and me time
F#m
I've gotta let you know I'm not okay
D
Barely seeing you from day to day
A E/G# D
Like ships pass in the night
[Chorus]
A E
So, baby, how 'bout we go right now
Bm D
Put the kids down
A E
Put on our song, light some candles
Bm D
Turn the lights out
A E/G#
Leave the dishes, leave the mess
D F#m E Bm
Let me hold you in the stillness tonight
A
Let's keep the fire alive
[Verse 2]
A
You promised you'd take care of me
D/A A D/A
and cherish me That's what you do
A A D/A
you I wanna know just how I feel
A D/A
What makes me laugh or sends me cryin' to ma room
F#m
My daddy said, girl every man's
D
Gotta stoke that fire all he can
A E/G# D
And never let the flame die
[Bridge]
Bm F#m
The wind's gonna come and try to blow It out
Bm F#m
The rain's gonna fall and try to press it down
Bm F#m
The world's gonna tell us it can't be done
E D E
But baby, if we try, I believe there's still better to come
