E C#m A E x2
[Verse]
C#m A E
I'm not asking you to run ahead
C#m A E
But could you try to take a single step
F#m
How can we move forward
A
When you're halfway out the door
C#m A E
So you've made mistakes, you have regrets
C#m A E
I don't need you to be perfect
F#m
Just promise that you'll be honest
A
I promise that it's worth the risk
[Chorus]
E F#
But I can't make you love me even if I try
C#m
I'm not gonna force you
A
You have to decide
E
I'm asking you to trust me

When I say that I'm not here for the moment
A
I'm in this for life
E F#m
Yes I know, I know you've been hurt before
C#m A
And life will lay you low, oh of that I'm sure
E F#m
But just say the word baby and I'm yours
A
I'll be shelter, keep you safe and warm

C#m A E
Cause it takes time to make this house a home
F#m A
And clean up the mess, those are the lovers left

I promise that I'm honest
