Intro: F  G   F  G   F  G   F  G 

F          G 
I can open doors 
F        G 
All by myself 
        F                G                       F 
And I'm strong enough to face this world without  
          G 
Anybody's help 

Pre-Chorus 
         C 
But why, why 
  Dm7 
Why would I want to 
  C 
Why, why 
         G 
When you love me like you do 

 Am 
I could go on living 
        Em 
Without tasting your kiss 
    F 
Get by without this moment 
    G                          F  G      F  G 
You touching me like this, but why___ 

F                 G 
I could keep this feeling 
F            G 
Locked in my heart 
        F           G   
I could bury these emotions 
    F         G 
And put up my guard 

Pre-Chorus 
      C 
But why 
  Dm7 
Why start resisting 
  C 
Why, why 
         G 
Look at all I'd be missing 

 Am 
I could go on living 
        Em 
Without tasting your kiss 
    F 
Get by without this moment 
    G 
You touching me like this 


Bridge: 
    F 
But why would I do that 
    Am7 
I'd have to be crazy 
   Dm 
To give up all you give me 
         G              F 
What you do to me, baby_____
