If you said goodbye to me tonight

There would still be music left to write
F# Bm
What else could I do
A7 D D7
I'm so inspired by you
G Em A D
That hasn't happened for the longest time

Once I thought my innocence was gone

Now I know that happiness goes on

Thats where you found me
A7 D D7
When you put your arms around me

Oh, oh, oh

And the greatest miracle of all

Is how I need you

But you feel so right

And I could be wrong

D A E A
Maybe Ill be sorry when youre gone

I had second thoughts at the start

I said to myself

Hold on to your heart

Now I know the woman that you are
E7
Youre wonderful so far
A
And its more than I hoped for
D A G A
I dont care what consequence it brings
D A E A
I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad
A7 D D7
I think you ought to know that
G Em A D
I intend to hold you for the longest time
