C                              C      
Before you go - walk out on me 
C7                                      F 
Take a look around tell me what you see 
C                              C
Here I stand - like an open book 
C7                                                       F 
Is there something here you might have overlooked 
                     G                           Em        Am 
It would be a shame if you should leave 
                      Dm                    G                             C 
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be 

The years we had - were not all bad 
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad 
Now you say - that you've grown tired 
You want to be by yourself a while 
It would be a shame if you should go 
And find that freedom was a long time ago 
F                               G                           Em    Am 
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you 
Dm                        G           C  
They just keep on drivin' us apart 
F                             G                   Em      Am  
You could go where I could never find you 
                      Em          Am       Dm                       G 
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart 

So one more time, for ol' times sake 
Come and lay your head upon my chest 
Please don't throw this moment away 
We can forget the bad and take the best 
If you don't have nothing left to say 
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake, yeh if you don`t have nothing left..
