[Intro]
Em , Bm , Am , E , Bm (Slid up to 3rd fret), G , D

[Verse 1]
G              C9      D
These broken dreams are enough
        Em                 C           Am
To make better people give up, but not us
G          C9               D
We soldier on like nothing's wrong
        Em                       C       Am
Did we think that we'd last this long?
C9 D                   C                   G
We    touched souls while walking across the coals
C9 D          Am                     C
If    we give up nothing will be good enough

[Chorus]
      G               C9
If we never make love again
          D                         C
Will you still want to call out my name?
        G                 C9
There's nothing left to explain
          D                           Em
When we admit that there's no one to blame

[Verse 2]
G            C9          D
You drove my car down the street
          Em               C               Am
Thinking you would never repeat all those lines
G          C9       D
I sat and stared into space
    Em                       C           Am
But all I could see was your face above mine
C9  D       C                        G
It's  easy to hurt the one you love the most
C9  D              Am                  C
Stay  with me; we're never giving up the ghost

[Chorus]
      G               C9
If we never make love again
          D                         C
Will you still want to call out my name?
        G                 C9
There's nothing left to explain
          D                           Em
When we admit that there's no one to blame

[Bridge]
Em            Bm
These wasted words
Am          E
Never to be heard
        Bm (3rd fret)      G                  D
Are we afraid that there's more to life than love?

[Chorus]
      G               C9
If we never make love again
          D                         C
Will you still want to call out my name?
        G                 C9
There's nothing left to explain
          D                           Em
When we admit that there's no one to blame
