(# Spoken #)
To say it's love would be too simple, too obvious
It's more like a calling, a vocation
Something I was put on this earth to do
Now I'm shooting with the stars and I'm flying with the angels
GC
And my heartbeat is a symphony, the closer I get to you
FC
I never saw you coming, 'til you came and here you are
FC
I never thought someone would ever dare to come this far
FG
You're up for the resistance and I'm strong in my persistence
And I've never known a remedy like ours
CHORUS:
CGFCGF
If I can't have you, if I can't have you
AmEm
I would be a river, dried up into dust
FG
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
FCGCGC
If I can't have you, I don't wanna be me
FC
Then I would be the same man you scraped off the ground
FC
I'd have to go back being, that broken soul you found
FCG
Those days are in the darkness, I buried them with hardness
And I'd have to dig those demons out
CFC
Your life is like an anchor that puts me in my place
FC
No, you won't let me sink, when I'm off losing my way
FC
Thank God for your virtue and the wisdom in your eye
G
'Cause somehow you get through, on all that crazy in my mind
CHORUS:
CGFCGF
If I can't have you, if I can't have you
AmEm
I would be a river, dried up into dust
FG
I would be imprisoned for never having loved
FCGCGFCG
If I can't have you, I don't wanna be me
I don't wanna be...
DmFCG
Why did it take you so long to finally see
DmFCG
That we had a love that you don't find easily?
DmFAmG
You broke my heart and the price to pay for that
DmFAmGFCG
Is you'll have to live the misery of losing what you had_______
FCGCGF
If I can't have you_____
INSTRUMENTAL: CGFCGFCGFDBmGD
Me, my words have come too late
BmGD
I've already turned that page
G
Don't you look at me that way
Esus4
'Cause you'll throw me back
D
And that's the part I hate
BmGD
I'll stay trapped inside my hell
BmGD
Where it's so hot that my walls melt
BmA
I can hear a promise in every lie
D
You said you'd never tell
BmGD
If I had only told the truth
BmGD
Oh, I could never trust you to
A
You'll survive
AGCG
No, I will die_____
DAGDAG
If I can't have you, if I can't have you
DA
Then I'm sorry for the things I cost you in the end
GA
My punishment is more than any man can stand
DAG
I need you in my life
DAG
I can't let go
DAG
Why don't you stay with me, tonight?
GDAG
I feel alone
DAG
Turn off all the lights
GDAG
Take me home
CHORUS:

If I can't have you, if I can't have you

Then I would be a river, dried up into dust
