  Reaching for the door 
  F                     G

      'Cause I know you will love me either way 

Verse 2: 

  Most were being good for goodness sake, but you 

  Wouldn't pantomime 

  You are more beautifull when you awake 

  Than most are in a lifetime 

  Through the haze that is my memory, well 

  You stayed for drama, though you paid for a comedy

      I know I can be colorful 
      A     A9     D4     D

      F                         G 
      And I know you will love me either way
