     C
If I could
    F           C
I'd put away my sorrow
           F          Am
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow
           G          F
To let you know how I feel
     
     C
If I could
   F              C
I'd look you in the eyes
            F        Am  
And it wouldn't be a surprise
        G            F
I would know what to say

  F      G
But I'm afraid
             Am
Of what's at stake
          F
Of what a love like
          G
This could do

  F        G
Oh it's my fate
        Am
To hesitate
      F         G
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise
always to keep
This broken heart
that wants you


If I could
Every time you held me close
Remembering when love at most
Burned in flames
Died away

If I could
I'd take you by the hand
And I'm sure you'd understand
Why it is I want you so

But I'm afraid
Of what's at stake
Of what a love like
This could do

Oh it's my fate
To hesitate
From saying I love you

But I would if
You said you'd never leave
This little promise
always to keep
This broken heart
that wants you
