  			                   D    G                     D 
To hear you say my name, to see you search my eyes 
                     G    A                  D 
To feel you touch my hand, it more than satisfies. 
   G             D     G                     D 
If I was not the first, just say I'll be the last 
                   G    A                         D 
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask. 
 
               G                      D 
Now I can only dream of being all you need 
               G Bm                 G  A 
And I can only try to be the reason why 
                  D  G                     D 
You think about today and forget about the past 
                   G    A                         D 
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.

                  D   G                           D  Bm 
You think about today 'cause the past is just the past 
                   G    A                       D  Bm 
It's too much to expect, but it doesn't hurt to ask 
                   A    G                         D 
It's too much to expect, but it's not too much to ask.
