| Em | |
| I know Life |
| C | |
| And I know Love |
| G | |
| But this is neither of them. |
| And you know Right from Wrong |
| Well, you've done wrong, |
| But I will love again |
| Whether or not it's you. |
| Am | |
| If it's easier to cry, |
| G | |
| Then let go |
| Am | |
| because you will see through tear soaked eyes |
| D | |
| that I am here for you. |
| G | C | |
| I'll be reading your notes in vain |
| they are Novocain |
| Am | D | |
| But lately I feel the same |
| So the picture frames are |
| G | |
| Coming down for now |
| C | |
| I am weak but I am proud |
| Am | G | D | |
| And if you are ever lonely again |
| Just call my name |
| Em | C | |
| I know that you hate the way I work so long |
| G | |
| I know you hate the way I wrote this song |
| I stayed up till the break of dawn |
| Em | C | |
| But Love Is Not A Compromise |
| G | |
| It's something like the rising of the sun |
| Although you've seen it a thousand times |
| You can't explain it |
| Am | |
| If it's easier to cry, |
| G | |
| Then let go |
| Am | |
| because you will see through tear soaked eyes |
| D | |
| that I am here for you. |
| G | C | |
| I'll be reading your notes in vain |
| they are Novocain |
| Am | D | |
| But lately I feel the same |
| So the picture frames are |
| G | |
| Coming down for now |
| C | |
| I am weak but I am proud |
| Am | G | D | |
| And if you are ever lonely again |
| Just call my name |
| C | |
| And I will sing for you |
| Em | |
| A song so good you'll doubt I wrote it |
| C | |
| And I will dance for you |
| G | |
| I won't step on your toes |
| C | |
| And I will laugh for you |
| Em | |
| You'll have no choice- |
| D | |
| you'll have to say I need you | |
| But Till then |
