   C 
verse 1 
  Am           E7       F               C 
If you let me hold you I think you'd understand 
 Am            E7            F           G 
My hearts burning for you in a way no others can 
  C                C7 
And I may not be perfect  
 F                       Fm 
But if you'll call me your man 
   C                  G            C 
I promise that I'll do the best I can 

verse 2 

 Am               E7 
When you say my name  
     F                     C 
It feels like time is standing still 
 Am                 E7 
I'd never want to speed it up  
  F                G 
I haven't got the will 
                C        
Though he may get tickets 
             C7 
When he's too quick 
          F                  Fm 
It's my heart that pays the bill 
 C                   G             C 
I think I'll just let time stand still 


 Dm                               G7 
I thought my heart it was well protected 
   Dm                         G7 
Behind my ribs right where I had left it  
      Dm7                   C  C/B   Am  G 
But, I should've known that 12 or so bones  
             Dm7               G7 
Wouldn't be enough to hide my love 

*Whistle* Am E7 F C Am E7 F G C C7 F Fm C G C 


 Dm                               G7 
I thought my heart it was well protected 
   Dm                         G7 
Behind my ribs right where I had left it  
      Dm7                   C  C/B   Am  G 
But, I should've known that 12 or so bones  
             Dm7               G7 
Wouldn't be enough to hide my love 
      C                       C7 
Oh, well I know that I'm not perfect  
      F                    Fm 
But if you'll call me your man 
  C                  G           C 
I promise that I'll do the best I can
