intro
BmF#mEm x2
verse 1
BmF#mEm
some say i’ll be better without you, but they don’t know you like i do
or at least the sides i thought i knew
BmF#m
i can’t bear this time, it drags on as i lose my mind
Em
reminded by things i find, like notes and clothes you’ve left behind
BmF#m
wake me up, wake me up when all is done
Em
i won’t rise until this battle’s won, my dignity’s become undone
chorus
EmF#mBmF#m
but i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
EmF#mBmF#m
i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
verse 2
BmF#m
so petrified, i’m so scared to step into this ride
Em
what if i lose my heart and fail, declined
i won’t forgive me if i give up trying
BmF#m
i heard his voice today, i didn’t know a single word he said
Em
not one resemblance to the man i met, just a vacant broken boy instead
chorus
EmF#mBmF#m
but i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
EmF#mBmF#m
i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
bridge
…F#mBm
there will be times, we’ll try and give it up
G
bursting at the seams, no doubt
EmF#m
we’ll almost fall apart, then burn to pieces
GF#
so watch them turn to dust, but nothing will ever taint us
chorus
EmF#mBmF#m
but i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
EmF#mBmF#m
i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
verse 3
BmF#m
will he, will he still remember me?
Em
will he still love me even when he’s free?
Bm
or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison over me?
F#mEm
when we spoke yesterday, he said to hold my breath and sit and wait
i’ll be home so soon, i won’t be late
chorus
EmF#mBmF#m
he won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
he’s willing to take the risk
EmF#mBmF#m
so i won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk
chorus
EmF#mBmF#m
‘cause he won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
we’re willing to take the risk
EmF#mBmF#m
i won’t go, i can’t do it on my own
F#mEm
if this ain’t love, then what is?
EmBm
i’m willing to take the risk.
