I know you've let me down before

I've seen your face, I've seen the scars behind your eyes
D A
I'm gonna ask you tonight
Pre-Chorus
G Bm
And if your answer is “no”
A
A thousand memories walkin’ out that door
G Bm
You'll leave this place far and behind
A
A second chance won't cross your mind
N.C. G Bm
I won't ask you why, I won't ask you where

I'll never be the one, I'll never be

It just can't be too late

And if your answer is “no”
