A  E   

[Verse]
A                              E
How can I choose the words to tell you
                           A
Words I should have said before
                            E
Now more and more I long to hold you
                                F#m A B 
I wish you'd never closed the door, oh
   F#m A B 
Oh no

[Verse]
A                         E
Now it's late and I feel older
                       A  
Having lost so much to you
                             E
And though I know everything is over
                         F#m
How I wish it could be true
      A         B                 
That you would stay, oh no
   F#m           A             B
A love like yours won't come my way

[Chorus]
E                     A        B
I need you here when darkness comes
E                       A          B
I want you near before I turn and run
E                     A         B
I need you here when darkness comes
E                      A          B
I beg you near before I turn and run

[Instrumental]
A E   (4x)

[Verse]
A                              E
You gave me hope then gave me tears
                           A
Though I could never blame you
                            E
I'm callin' out but no one hears
                         F#m
How I wish it could be true
      A         B       
That you would stay, oh no
 F#m          A                 B
A love like yours won't come my way
