Em7 D/F# G
I should've done something
Em7 D/F# G
Again I did nothing
Em7 D/F# G Em7 D/F# G
Watched us separate
Em7 D/F# G
What should I do now
Em7 D/F# G
Run and chase you down?

Em7 D/F# G
My hands are shaking
Em7 D/F# G
I'm yours for the taking
Em7 D/F# G Em7 D/F# G
Don't you hesitate
Em7 D/F# G
Please just do one thing
Em7 D/F# G
One small sign, something
Em7 D/F# G Em7 D/F# G
Let's jump off the edge

'Cause all I want you to say is something real
C D
All I wanted to know is how you feel
C D
All I want you to give is your heart
Am C D
But we're stuck here at the start
