Maybe I pray too much, maybe I'm wasting God's time 
           G9     Em7                  C         D7sus 
Living without your touch, is driving me out of my mind 
       A7          Em7             C         G/B 
If you could only see how much you matter to me, 
      A7        D7sus    G9     D7sus 
Maybe you would stay forever 
 
        G9     Em7              C        D7sus 
Maybe I care too much, maybe I'll push you away 
          G9    Em7              C       D7sus 
Maybe I'd have my doubts if I were in your place 
            A7       Em7                C        G/B 
And if you could see inside this aching heart of mine 
      A7        D7sus    G9 
Maybe you would stay forever 
 
F                         G       F                              G 
  You don't have to go on living,   with your back against the wall 
Dm7                           Cm7  C       G/B     Am7    D7sus 
  Let my lovin' arms surround you, I won't let you fall 
 
Verse 3: 
And if you would trust in me, and this love of mine 
We'll sail an endless sea, under a starry sky 
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close 
Maybe you will stay forever. 
 
Verse 4: 
And when the cold wind blows, we'll hold each other close 
Maybe you will stay forever.
