                A9          A 
    Don't wanna open your heart? 
              A9             A 
    You're afraid from the start 
           D7+ 
    That a new love's gonna let you down 
              A9                    A 
    There is something you should know 
                A9          A 
    Before you give up and go 
               D7+ 
    I don't believe in the run around 
Bm7                C#m7 
    I just want to find myself 
         D7+     C#m7   Bm7 
    And show you how I feel 

                         D7+  
    If a promise ain't enough 
E                            A9  A  A9  A 
    Then a touch says everything 
                          D7+ 
    Got to hold you in my arms 
E                         A9  A  A9  A 
    Till you feel what I mean 
                  D7+                     E 
    Know that my heart just tells me what to say 
                  C#m7           F#m 
    But words can only prove so much 
                         D7+ 
    If a promise ain't enough 
E                 A9  A A9 
    Hold onto my love 

              A9               A 
    Though my words can't describe 
             A9            A 
    How I'm feeling all inside 
            D7+                    D7+(9) 
    Does my touch say anything to you 
               A9           A 
    I'm not afraid to take time 
               A9         A 
    'cause I know you'll find 
              D7+ 
    That I'm real and my touch is true 
Bm7                          C#m7 
    It's taken a lifetime to find my heart 
             D7+    C#m7      Bm7 
    And I'll give it all to you 

                         D7+  
    If a promise ain't enough 
E                            A9  A  A9  A
