[D] [F#m] [E]
[D]I went too far [F#m]when I was begging on my [E]knees
[D]Begging for your [F#m]arms, for you to hold around [E]me
[D]I went too far [F#m]and kissed the ground beneath your [E]feet
[D]Waiting for your love, [F#m]waiting for our eyes to [E]meet


Crying [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.
Oh, [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.


[D]I went too far [F#m]when I was begging on my [E]knees
[D]When I cut my hands, [F#m]so you could stand and watch me [E]bleed?
[D]I went too far [F#m]and kissed the ground beneath your [E]feet
[D]Standing in my blood, [F#m]it was a taste of bitter[E]sweet


Crying [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.
Oh, [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.


Why can’t I [D]turn around and [F#m]walk away? Go [A]back in time? [E]
I’ll have to [D]turn around and [F#m]walk away
I [A]can’t stay, [E]I have to walk away


[D]I’m left behind with an [F#m]empty hole, [A]and everything I am is [E]gone
[D]I tried to reach for [F#m]another soul, [A]so I can feel [E]whole
Oh, [D]give me some [F#m]love, oh, [A]give me some [E]love


Crying [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.
Oh, [D]give me some love, [F#m]give me some love and hold me,
[A]Give me some love and hold me [E]tight.


Why can’t I [D]turn around and [F#m]walk away?
Go [A]back in time? [E]
I’ll have to [D]turn around and [F#m]walk away
I [A]can’t stay, [D]I have to walk away


[D] [F#m] [A] [E]
