        Am                     G 
I wanna stand up, take a bow.  Sit down and work it out.

I'm the last person in this world. Who wants to see you hurt. 
            Am               G          F 
Is this the interval, or the end. If we don't talk we can't reconcile. 
                                              Am 
What we really need.  What we know is right.

That we're going through...

We gotta work this out.  Before it goes too far. 
         Am        F     G               Am         
We gotta work this out.  Until many have taken the fall.

          Am                      G 
If you're searching for reasons.  I follow the signs. 
                                         F 
Or keep running in my direction.  I will run at a time. 
                Am                         G 
I know it's not easy.  But we've come this far. 
                                     F 
Forgiveness is a revelation.  Let me love you now. 
              Am 
From where we are 

 
                  G                           F 
I can't stand the silence.  I can't stand the silence. 
           G 
That we're going through...

We gotta work this out.  Before it goes too far. 
         Am        F     G               Am         
We gotta work this out.  Until many have taken the fall. 
F                                   G
