[Em] [G] [Em]
I have always [Bm] needed [B]
somebody [Am] care
[D]
But [G] I closed [C] the doors [D] to defy [G] the world
But for [Em] you, I would be here [G] all alone
Locked in a boat [Eb] [Cm] that locks and runs down [Eb] Love, [G] beware
[Cm] We'll be the lovers that never [G] were
[Em]
And patiently, [Bm] on [B] every word [Am] you [E] say
[Am] [D]
Will [G] we [C] ever be [D] much more than [G] just friends?
As [Em] for you, you sit there playing [G] this game
You keep me waiting [Eb] when all [Cm] the clocks have run down
[Eb] [G]
[Cm] We'll be the lovers that [G] never [C] were
[Cm] For as long as [G] the sun [C] shines [Cm] in [G] somebody's eyes
