       Dm                F  C    ~ Am
How to show you what I'm feeling
           Em            F
And try to make you understand
          C         Am          F       C ~ Am
Won't you take this heart, this longing
         Em             F
I see my future in your hands
Dm     C      Dm              F         
Oh, so simple now you're here
               C                 G
Like breathing out and breathing in

Gave a reason to begin
    C                     F     Am
And you brought me so much happiness
F          C      F  G            Am
There's no reason to give in, now....
 
 
   Dm               F C    ~ Am
As evening light is fading
             Em            F
And know you lie within my arms
          C       Am         F      C ~ Am
Can't you feel my heart beat faster
           Em              F
I'll never let you come to harm
Dm      C        Dm               F
It's so peaceful now you're here
            C                G
I know this love goes on and on

There's no reason to give in
