Key signatures: C#, F#


Intro:   D, G, A, D, G, A  (X2)


1st verse:
D                      G                             A
   Every single time I see you, I 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 that's hanging in the back of my head,
D                    G   A
   I see it over and o - ver.


Pre-chorus:
          Bm           C#m      D
I want to hold you and love you in my arms, and then
          Bm               C#m        D
I want to need you cause I need to be with you 'till the end.
    Bm            C#m                 D
But then I hear myself reply, "you've got to hold it in
     Gmaj7    A
this time  tonight".


Chorus:
D     G                      A
   If only I had the guts to feel this way.
D     G                         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,
G              A
   "I won't go   cause I need you".


(Repeat intro)


2nd verse:
I sit here waiting, wondering, hoping that I'll make this right.
'Cause all I think about is your hands, your face and all these lonely 
nights.
There's a feeling that's screaming in the back in the back of my head,
I see it over and over


(Pre-chorus)


(Chorus)


Bridge:
G                        Bm
   I want to hear you say  "it'll always be this way.
A                                D
   And we'll be hand in hand for every night and every day".
G                           Bm
   I wanna scream and shout   'cause I'm losing any doubt.
A                       D
And I all care about is you and me and us and now.


(Chorus)
