C
I never been the lucky one
G
Watched my dreams all turning wrong
F Dm C G
They left me alone, thinking, they’d come back some day
C
Well it turns out I was wrong
G
Time don’t wait for anyone
F C
Now I stand here like a school kid hoping that it’s not too late
Oh here goes my heart again
Foolish as it’s ever been
Always leaving me somewhere that I couldn’t stay
I’m gonna look behind
There’s nothing there I wanna find
So I stand here and face you and promise to not run away
Chorus:
F C
Under the sun, ain’t nothing new
G
There’s lovers and leavers and moments forgotten
F G
And dreams that don’t ever come true
F
And even though I’m afraid
C
I’m gonna stand my ground
F G C
If it’s not asking too much, love don’t let me down
Now here I stand in front of you
Just hoping that my best will do
I’m a good man I’m a loving man who just needs someone to hold
I can see it in your face
Your love can fill up this empty space
And the years up ahead don’t have to feel so damn alone
Chorus
If it’s not asking too much
Love don’t let me down
