Just sit down and talk to me a while.

Oh I know I tried to tell me what was lacking,

But I guess I must have missed it by a mile.

Well this time girl, I swear to you I'll listen.
G                C
Help me understand where I went wrong.
G/B Am             C
It's hard to find myself in this position
Am                  D
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone.

Chorus:
D      G       C
Help me hold on to what we had.
C           Am D     G
Once our love was strong it can be again.
G                 C
You said it takes two to make love last.

What have I got to do to make you see,
G/B Am             C
that even though I promised you forever,
G/B Am             D Dsus4
I never know how hard that would be?
  G              C
I realized I took your love for granted,
G                         C
But I've learned that love worth having don't come free.
G/B Am                 C
And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you,
Am                 D
Oh, satisfied and staying here with me.
