Well when I'm the reason you get mad 
Consider when you never had 
A reason to be quite so angry for it all. 

And when you're the reason I get red 
I'll consider throwing you to bed 
As well as all the times when I got nothing much at all. 


    Am  G      C           Am  G      C 
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away. 

  
           C 
Well, when we're the reason you get scared 
    F 
Consider that we've never fared 
Am                        G 
Better than the fights in which we gave our all. 


       C 
And when you're the reason I get cross 
        F 
I'll consider that we never lost  
    Am                                G 
The wish to make things right when it mattered most of all. 


    Am  G      C           Am  G      C 
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away. 


          C 
Well when I'm the reason you get mean 
    F 
Consider if you'd never seen 
     Am                                     G 
That bunch of flowers twice the height what I thought we could find. 


         C 
And when we're the reason you must leave 
F 
Promise, girl, that you'll believe 
    Am                                  G 
Yourself and not my stuttered pleas for you to change your mind. 


    Am  G      C           Am  G      C 
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away. 


C   F   Am   G 
C   F   Am   G 
Am  G   C 
C   G   C 


    C 
But if I ever wonder why 
  F 
I love you 
     Am                               G 
Just open up one bright brown eye and I will surely find. 


         C 
That the way I feel inside will sure 
  F 
Remind me who it is that makes 
    Am                            G 
The butterflies within my stomach twist and turn and dive. 


    Am  G      C           Am  G      C 
But don't walk away, and I won't walk away.
