Verse:
E5     E5
  Hold on, hold on to yourself
    E5                  E5
For this is gonna hurt like hell
E5     E5
  Hold on, hold on to yourself
    E5            E5
You know that only time will tell
E5                          A5
  What is it in me that refuses to believe
           E5               G5
This isn't easier than the real thing?
E5         E5
  My love, you know that you're my best friend
E5                    E5
 You know I'd do anything for you
E5         E5
  My love, let nothing come between us
   E5                 E5
My love for you is strong and true

Prechorus:
E5                    A5
 Am I in heaven here or am I
       E5                 G5
At the crossroads I'm standing?

Chorus:
   B5               A69
So now you're sleeping peaceful
  G5  A5
I lie awake and pray
     B5                 A69
That you'll be strong tomorrow
           G5     A5
And you'll see another day
            E5   A5
And we will praise it
    E5                   G5
And love the light that brings a smile
A69  G5
 Across your face

Verse:
E5              E5
  Oh god, if you're out there won't you hear me?
E5                          E5
 I know that we've never talked before
A69           B5
 And oh god, the man I love is leaving
          G5 [stop]
Won't you take him when he comes to your door?

prechorus:
E5                    A5
 Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
       E5          G5
At the crossroads I am standing?
