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
