Gb                     Db
For a while there, it was rough
      Ab                     Bbm
But lately I've been doin' better
      Gb                       Db
Than the last four cold Decembers
      Ab
I recall
        Gb                 Db
And I see my family every month
       Ab                 Bbm
I found a girl my parents love
         Gb               Db
She'll come and stay the night
         Ab
And I think I might have it all

      Gb           Db
And I thank God every day
          Ab          Bbm
For the girl He sent my way
       Gb                Db
But I know the things He gives me
       Ab
He can take away
         Gb             Db
And I hold you every night
         Bbm            Ab            Gb
And that's a feeling I wanna get used to
         Ebm
But there's no man as terrified
           Ab
As the man who stands to lose you

     Gb             Db
Oh, I hope I don't lose you
      Bbm         Db
Mmm, please, stay
     Bbm         Ab            Gb
I want you, I need you, oh, God
      Db
Don't take
   Bbm               Ab      Db    Gb
These beautiful things that I've got

   Db          Bbm
Please, stay
     Ab                 Db       Gb
I want you, I need you, oh, God
       Db
Don't take
     Ab                Db          Gb
These beautiful things that I've got
       Db     Bbm            Ab
Oh, ooh
   Db              Ab
Please, don't take

     Gb                    Db
I found my mind, I'm feelin' sane
       Ab                    Bbm
It's been a while, but I'm findin' my faith
        Gb                    Db
If everything's good and it's great
         Ab
Why do I sit and wait till it's gone?
           Gb                    Db
Oh, I'll tell ya, I know I've got enough
          Ab                  Bbm
I've got peace and I've got love
           Gb                  Db          Ab
But I'm up at night thinkin' I just might lose it all

   Gb     Db       Bbm
Please, stay
    Ab          Db             Gb
I want you, I need you, oh, God
    Db            Bbm
Don't take
      Ab          Db             Gb
These beautiful things that I've got

Oh, ooh

     Db        Bbm
Please, stay
     Ab              Db         Gb
I want you, I need you, oh, God
     Db        Bbm
I need
     Ab            Db          Gb
These beautiful things that I've got
