[Opening]
[G]I heard somebody knocking on the door
I [Em]had a drink in my hand but, I was looking for something more
And I put my [C]eyes on you I fell in [D]love with you, for the last [G]time
And I [G]remember the dark brown of your eyes
Your [Em]olive skin and the look of sin, yeah you took me by surprise
When I put my [C]hands on you, I fell in [D]love with you, for the last [G]time [D]
[chorus]
Because the [C]brighter that we [Em]shine, leaves a bigger [D]shadow in our [G]wake
A [C]story we can [Em]tell another [D]time, and if [C]this was love and [Em]I was wrong
Then [D]I will admit the [G]mistakes we [C]made were always [D]mine
Were always [G]mine
[verse 2]
[G]Honey I told you to go left then I went right
[Em]And when I told you that I loved you you couldn’t tell I was lyin’
Because I put a [C]spell on you, I put my [D]hands on you, for the [G]last time
And [G]maybe I’m too young to settle down
Because I [Em]know that you’d be good for me and I wouldn’t stick around
And I don’t wanna [C]hurt you darling
And I don’t want to [D]let you down again, for the last [G]time [D]
[chorus]
Because the [C]brighter that we [Em]shine, leaves a bigger [D]shadow in our [G]wake
A [C]story we can [Em]tell another [D]time, and if [C]this was love and [Em]I was wrong
Then [D]I will admit the [G]mistakes we [C]made were always [D]mine
Were always [G]mine
[Closing]
Oooh-[C]ooh-[D]ooh-[Em]oh, ooh-[C]ooh-[D]ooh-[Em]oh
Please don’t [C][D]go-[Em]oo-oo, won’t you [D]stay
[chorus]
Because the [C]brighter that we [Em]shine, leaves a bigger [D]shadow in our [G]wake
A [C]story we can [Em]tell another [D]time, and if [C]this was love and [Em]I was wrong
Then [D]I will admit the [G]mistakes we [C]made were always [D]mine
Were always [G]mine. [G]
