(INTRO)
G          C/G          G          C/G

G                                         C/G
Ba by, close that suit case you've been packing.
G                               C/G
Just sit down and talk to me a while.
Am7                                  C
I know I tried to tell me what was lacking,
Am7                                     D
But I guess I must have missed it by a mile.
G                                         C/G
Well this time girl, I swear to you I'll listen.
G                                 C
Help me understand where I went wrong.
G    Am7                            C
It's hard to find myself in this position
Am7                                    D
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone.
(CHORUS)
D              G                  C
Help me hold on.......to what we had.
C                         Am7       D       G
Once our love was strong........it can be again.
G                                           C
You said it takes two........to make love last.
C                G/B      Am7        D          G
You were right all along........so help me hold on.
(2nd VERSE)
G                                  C/G
What have I got to do to make it better?
G                                 C/G(HOLD)
What have I got to do to make you see,
      Am7                          C(HOLD)
that even though I promised you forever,
   Am7                            D(HOLD)
I never know how hard that would be?
   G                              C/G(HOLD)
I realized I took your love for granted,
     G                                              C
But I've learned that love worth having don't come free.
G/B                                C
And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you,
Am7                             D
satisfied and staying here with me.
