D          /E  /D  C                             G 
Oh darlin' hold on take it another step further along 
D                      /E  /D          C                            G 
Rest assured when your life is through you gave your heart all it's due 


Em                    D 
Right now it seems so far away 
Em                       D 
But I could never stop believing 
G                      F#m 
The hope within me is alive today 
Em                        Bm  
I'll stick around I ain't leavin' 

Em                       D 
I know it's hard to be misunderstood 
Em                                D 
And I'm glad you read between the lines 
G                         F#m 
I've tried to be the best friend that I could 
Em                              Bm   A 
Ain't no more cause for passin' time 

Chorus 

Maybe I ain't got the golden touch 
The kind that's music to your ear 
What gain would I have not much 
For the words you wanna hear 

Keep your distance now and stand your guard 
Though I never meant to threaten you 
You've played your hand I've seen your cards 
What happens now is up to you 

Chorus  (solos over D and Dsus4)
