[Bm] I've hardly been [C#m] outside my room [D] in days
Cause I [Bm] don't feel that I [A] deserve [D] the [G] sunshine's [D] rays
The [Bm] darkness held until [C#m] the whiskey [A] wore [D] away
And it was then [Bm] I realized [A] the conscience never [D] fades
When [Bm] you're young you have [C#m] this [A] image of [D] your life
That you'll be [Bm] scrupulous [A] and one day even make a [D] wife
And you [Bm] make boundaries [A] you'd never dream [D] to cross
And if [Bm] you happen to, you'll [A] wake completely [D] lost
But I [G] will [D] fight [A] for you
[Bm] Be sure [A] that I will [G] fight until we're the [Bm] special two [A] Once [G] again
[A]
[Bm] And we will only [A] need each other, [D] we'll bleed together
[G] Our hands will not [Bm] be tied to holding [A] others
Cause [D] we're the special two
[Bm] And we can only [A] see each other, we'll [D] breathe together
These [G] arms will not [Bm] be tied to [D] needing others
Cause [G] we're the [D] special two
I [Bm] [A] [D] [G] [D] [G]
[Bm] [D] [D]
[Bm] remember someone [C#m] old [D] once said to me
That lies [Bm] will lock you up, [A] with [D] truth the only key
But I [Bm] was comfortable [C#m] and warm inside [D] my shell
And couldn't [Bm] see this place [A] could soon become [D] my hell
So is it better [Bm] to tell a lie [C#m] [A] to save [D] their face
[A] Well I guess [Bm] the answer is [A] don't do it in [D] the first place
I know I'm not [Bm] deserving of your [C#m] trust from you [D] right now
[A] But if [Bm] by chance you change [A] your mind
You know I [D] will not let you [G] down
Cause we're the [Bm] special two
[A] And we'll be [G] again
[A]
[Bm] And we will only [A] need each other, [D] we'll bleed together

[G] These arms will not [Bm] be tied to needing [A] others
And [G] we're the special [A] two
I step [Em] outside my [A] mind's eyes for [Bm] a minute
And [D] I look [Em] over me like a doctor [A] looking for disease
[Bm] Or something that [Bm] could ease the [D] pain
But nothing [Em] cures the hurt [A] you
[F#] You bring on by [G] yourself
Just remembering, just [A] remembering how [D] we were
[F#m]
[Bm] And we will only [A] need each other, we'll [D] bleed together
These [G] hands will not be [Bm] tied to holding [A] others
