[Verse 1]
C F Fmaj7
Oh God they got you gun shy
Bb6
You know your skin's as cold as ice
Gm7
Your eyes are double filtered babe
C7
Your so afraid to be nice
[Verse 2]
F Fmaj7
There's no way you're ready
Bb6
To let your defenses down
Gm7
No I won't come on heavy
C7
There is a lesson that I found
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
If you try to look but you don't touch
Gm7
Then you won't touch, but you'll never feel
Am7
And if you don't feel, you'll never cry
Bb6 C7 F
And if you don't cry, then you'll never heal
Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb
[Verse 3]
C F Fmaj7
There are lessons to life
Bb
That the lover's got to learn
C7 Bb
There are corners out there, you know they're waitin' somewhere
C6 F
And you got to be prepared to turn
F Fmaj7
There are calluses that come
Bb
That the lover's got to earn
C7 Bb
In the years of your youth you can't be fire proof
C6 F
You know you got to get burned
[Chorus]
F Fmaj7
And if you try to look but you don't touch
Gm7
Then you won't touch, but you'll never feel
Am7
And if you don't feel, you'll never cry
Bb6 C7 F
And if you don't cry, then you'll never heal
Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb
[Verse 4]
C F Fmaj7
Can't you feel the excitement
Bb6
Feel it welling up inside
Gm7
What makes you think emotions
C7
Are something that you hide
F Fmaj7
Yes I might take advantage
Bb6
But I'll be gentle if I do
Gm7
And I'll be here in the morning
C7
Still lookin' at you
[Verse 5]
