Cm
Standing in the open light
F
Within the swelter of the night
  Bb                         Gm
I found myself staring at you
    Cm
And every time our fingers touched
  F
I felt like it would be too much
    Bb                     Gm
And too little to hang onto


[Pre-Chorus]
         Cm                   F
I cannot fall in love with you
         Bb                            Gm
I cannot feel this way so soon, so soon
         Cm                  F
I cannot be this way with you
         Bb                   Gm
I cannot fall in love with you


[Chorus]
           Cm
I knew it when you looked my way
            F
That I'd be begging you to stay
           Bb
I couldn't say it to myself
           Gm
I couldn't say it
          Cm
I felt it burning in the way
          F
I held on when you pulled away
           Bb
I couldn't say it to myself
           Gm
I couldn't say it to myself
           Cm*
I couldn't say it
           F*
I couldn't say it
           Bb*
I couldn't say it
           Gm*
I couldn't say it
