     C 
If I could 
    F           C 
I'd put away my sorrow 
           F          Am 
I wouldn't wait until tomorrow 
           G          F 
To let you know how I feel 
      
     C 
If I could 
   F              C 
I'd look you in the eyes 
            F        Am   
And it wouldn't be a surprise 
        G            F 
I would know what to say 

  F      G 
But I'm afraid 
             Am 
Of what's at stake 
          F 
Of what a love like 
          G 
This could do 

  F        G 
Oh it's my fate 
        Am 
To hesitate 
      F         G 
From saying I love you 

But I would if 
You said you'd never leave 
This little promise 
always to keep 
This broken heart 
that wants you 


If I could 
Every time you held me close 
Remembering when love at most 
Burned in flames 
Died away 

If I could 
I'd take you by the hand 
And I'm sure you'd understand 
Why it is I want you so 

But I'm afraid 
Of what's at stake 
Of what a love like 
This could do 

Oh it's my fate 
To hesitate 
From saying I love you 

But I would if 
You said you'd never leave 
This little promise 
always to keep 
This broken heart 
that wants you
