Written by Kix Brooks and Chris Waters

E                        B 
I guess I lost my head last night 
E                    A 
Kept on 'til I made you cry 
E                            C#m 
Walked out with my stubborn pride 
B                                            A 
Wasn't nothing you could do to stop me 
E                         B 
I hit the road but I didn't get far 
E                             A 
Just drove around all night in my car 
E                        C#m 
Now I'm not sure where to start 
B                          A 
To tell you that I'm sorry 

A       B        E  F#m   A 
I just want to hold you 
A                    B 
I don't want to hurt you 
B                    E  F#m 
I don't want to leave 
F#m             A          B 
I just want to be with you 
B                    C#m     B             
And after living alone, lost for so long 
A 
finally found the love of my life 
F#m             A             E 
Why  would I say goodbye 
 
Verse 2 
 
I don't know what is is about the edge of a cliff 
 
Makes we want to get so close to it 
 
I guess tis time I finally slipped 
 
What a foolish way to end it 
 
Maybe that's why I'm back here now 
 
got bot feet back on the ground 
 
Hopin' you won't turn me down 
 
when I ask you for forgiveness 
 
Repeat chorus
