Verse:

Am   G           Am            G
My love, you're tired and its late

Am             G                  Am     G
But I have to say what I have to say

Am        G                  Am          G   
I am not clear if you still want me near

Am           G          Am      G
If you do please let me know

Chorus:

G
If I go

          Gm
You'll be with me

   Bb
If you want me to stay

      F
We'll fix whatever's broken

G
Wherever I go

        Gm
I'll be with you

           Bb
My love is deeper than the sea

    F
And taller than a mountain


Second verse:

Am           G
You held my life

      Am           G
On a puppet string

Am        G            Am     G
I have no secrets from you

Am         G                Am           G
Tell me my love, is it still good enough?

Am         G             Am     G
If its not please set me free

Bridge:
 
Bb         A                        F
You're nonchalant and drifting with the breeze

G               Gm           A
Now won't you listen to me please




Then play the chorus again. That second bridge may be wrong, but the rest of it I'm
pretty sure of. Comments welcome.
