[Intro]
G Em F G x2

G Em
Now I don't wanna lose you, but I don't wanna use you

Just to have somebody by my side
G Em
And I don't wanna hate you, I don't wanna take you
F G
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C G C G
And I don't really matter, to anyone anymore
C Bm
But like a fool I keep losing my place
D
And I keep seeing you walk through that door
[Chorus 1]
C G D G
But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
C G D G
And it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust

There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
C D
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
[Interlude 1]

F G
Maybe I just wanna have it all
[Pre-Chorus 2]

It makes a sound like thunder, it makes me feel like rain
C Bm
And like a fool who will never see the truth

C D G
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough
[Bridge]
F C G F C G
And there's no way home, when it's late at night and you're all alone

Are there things that you wanted to say, do you feel me beside you in your bed

There beside you where I used to lay
[Interlude 2]

[Chorus 3]
C G D G
And there's a danger in loving somebody too much
C G D G
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch

Baby sometimes love, it just ain't enough
