Verse 1: 
     C                F                    C 
Well I heard you say you would love for a lifetime  
                    F                     C          G

C         F          C           F                C   Dm 
Another casualty of casual love, another soul out of place,

A heart that gave up  
Pre Chorus 1: 
C          G         Dm         F      C      F          Dm 
Why do we break the promises we make?  Are we living for ourselves?

F          Am    G  
Don?t give up on love and let it fall away

When did it become so easy to run from your pain?

Don?t give up on love and throw it all away  
                 C 
Don?t give up on love. 
Verse 2: 
C            F                          C 
Well I heard you say you can?t change a stubborn heart  
                        F                        C         G  
Yet I can relate ?cause that?s how I feel when I talk with you  
Pre Chorus 2: 
C             G    Dm           F      
Why should it take losing everything, 
C             F                Dm  
To realize it might be time to change?  
 
Bridge: 
C                                        G 
Your restless heart won?t win ?cause you take but you don?t give  
C                                    G 
And you?ll keep moving on until you learn what love is
