  C                             Em
  Everybody needs a little time away
             F       F  G   Am G
  I heard her say,  from each other
  C                      Em
  Even lovers need a holiday
  F           F  G    Am G
  Far away  from each other

  Am      F
  Hold me now
        Am                       C
  It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
  Am     F           Gsus4 G    
  I just want you to stay

  C       F                    G

  I promise to

  And after all that's been said and done
         Am             D7             Gsus G
  You're just a part of me I can't let go

  Couldn't stand to be kept away
  Just for the day,  from your body
  Wouldn't want to be swept away
  Far away  from the one that I love
  Hold me now
  It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
  I just want you to know
  Hold me now
  I really want to tell you I'm sorry
  I could never let you go
  After all that we've been through
  I will make it up to you
  I promise to
  And after all that's been said and done
  You're just a part of me I can't let go
