I know you've been hurt

Still you held on, 
           F#m 
right down to the wire 
             Bm                E 
If it was so wrong,

Now I understand, you have your doubts

Verse 3 
        A                   F#m 
I offer my hand, to have and to hold

My door is open, don't turn away

At least we can try, don't be afraid

We might last a lifetime or only one day

But you'll always have the right

You'll always have the right to walk away
