(verse 1) 
D                         G 
Been a runnin from these feelings for so long, 
 A7                       D 
Tellin my heart I didn't need you, 
                  G 
Pretendin I was better off alone, 
       D 
But I know that it's just a lie, 

(bridge) 
Bm                   Em7 
So afraid to take a chance again, 
     G                     A 
So afraid of what I feel inside,

                  D                        G                 A

I need to share every breath with you, (share every breath with you, ho, oh) 
                         Bm 
I need you to know I can see your smile each mornin, 
       G                                Em7 
Look into you eyes each night, for the rest of my life, 
G              Bm                A 
Here with you, near with you, a while,

I need to be next to you,

Right here with you is where I belong, 
A7                             D 
I lose my mind if I can't see you, 
                       G 
Without you there is nothin in this life, 
            D                         Bm 
That would make my life worth livin for,

I can't fight what I feel anymore,
