[C][F]

[Verse 1]
[Em]I've been skeptical
[Am]about all of those fairytales
[F]that happened a long time [G]ago
When love came at first [C]sight
and everything turned out right
[F]What happened then, I'll never know
[D]I'm not [Em]a little child,
[Am]haven't been for quite a [F]while
And I don't fall [G]that easily
But I'm glad that we took this chance
Even [C]if it's just this [F]dance
Maybe it'll last for a night or [G]two
[Em]Mama, we was so sad,
[Am]must hurt you pretty bad
[F]We're hot out [G]on your sleeve
A man like you should know,
[C]if you really let her go
[F]There's plenty of fish in the sea
Tell [G]me how [Em]long will you go [C]on
Too hurt to [F]give your heart [G]away
Too [D]scared to [G]live,
every [C]tooth's right,
clinging to [F]yesterday[G]
[D]I'm [Em]glad you [G]came to [Am]me,
not just a remedy
[F]To help you overcome a bro[G]ken heart
And while you may not for[D]get,
[G]I kno[C]w that we've just met
[F]I believe it's at least a s[G]tart
Though you say your heart [Em]is numb,
[Am]
offer me a little crumb,
[F]and I'll acc[D]ept it lik[G]e a feast
Love is patient, love is kind,
[C]love can really fry you[G]r mind,
[F]but then, that's the nature of a beast
Tell me how [Em]long will you go [C]on,
too hurt to [F]give your heart away
[G]Too scared to live, afraid [C]to try,
clinging to [F]yesterday
Someone is having all the same
[G]love and more
Though it's not [F]so simple
to [G]understand
Tak[Fsus4]ing up the pieces
may [G]not be easy
But I'll be [Am]glad to [G]give you a [Cm]hand
[G][B][Em][G][Am][C][F][Am]
[G]I'd rather leave you by the
[D]way[G][C][F]
[G]I'm [Em]not [G]watching you
[D]I k[Am]now you got things to do
[F]To start your life all [Em]over again
But [G]I just want you to know
[C]That if we take it real slow
[F]I can become your closest fri[Dsus4]end
[G]No nee[Em]d to run or hide
[Am]Just remember I'm on your side
[F]And I won't ask for what
[G]you can't give
Face it babe, what's done is done
[C]It's time to be moving [G]on
[F]Don't just survive
You've got to live,
[C]you've got to [G]live[Em][C]
[F]You've got to give it all away, [G]baby
Too [D]scared to [G]live
Afraid to [C]try[F]
[G]Tell me how long
[Em]You've [C]known
[F]You've got to give your heart away
[D]Too [G]sca[D]red to liv[G]e, afraid to try[C]
Clinging [F]to yesterday
Oh, carry on [G]on, carry on [C]on
[F]You're gonna give your heart [G]away
[D]Too scared to [G]live, [C]afraid to try
Clinging [F]to yesterday[D][G][Em][C]
[F]You[C]'ve got[G] to live,
you've got to live [D]all [C]day,
[F]not merely sur[C]vive, yea[G]h.[F][C]
You [G]got to [C]give [G]your heart away
