Capo 2nd fret (sounding key D major)
G6 = 320000
One verse instrumental intro
C /b Am C/g
Do you love me,
or are [F]you just extending good[G]will?[Gsus4] [G]
C /b Am C/g
Do you need me half as bad as you say,
F G C/g G
or are you just feeling guilt?
I've been [Am]burned be[G(6)]fore and I [F]know the [C]score
So you [F]won't hear me com[G]plain[Gsus4].[G]
C /b Am C/g
Will I be able to count on you
Or [F]is your [G]love in [C]vain?[Csus4] [C]
Are you so fast that you cannot see
that I must have solitude?
When I am in the darkness,
why do you intrude?
Do you know my world, do you know my kind
Or must I explain?
Will you let me be myself
Or is your love in vain?
Well I've [F]been to the [G]mountain and I've [C]been [/b]in the [Am]wind,
I've been [F]in and out of [G]happi[C]ness.
I have [F]dined with [G]kings, I've been [C]of[/b]fered [Am]wings
And I've [F]never been too im[G]pressed.
All right, I'll take a chance,
I will fall in love with you
If I'm a fool you can have the night,
you can have the morning too.
Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow,
Do you understand my pain?
Are you willing to risk it all
Or is your love in vain?
