Intro: C F G Am C/B  F  F 



C 
 My hand on the small of her back 
       F 
As she stands with this love in her eyes 
             G 
She makes me feel like I'm special   
I hope to God that I'm special  
            Am                C/B  F    F 
Or does she do this to all of the  boys? 



C 
 Her smile with her face in my hand  
   F 
Confirms that beauty exists 
         G 
Take me away from my trouble 
                                    Am 
Don't make me a bubble or somewhere safe 
        C/B    F   F 
Where only  we sit 



C 
 Hold on to what you believe 
          F 
And if you have to...get down on your knees 
              G 
And know that somewhere out there 
          Am 
There's a someone for you 
               C/B                             F   F 
You'll have to trust me because for me it was you 



C F G Am C/B  F  F 



C 
 It seemed, when we fell in love that  
  F 
Nothing could stand in our way... 
        G 
Yet the continual lying & hurt that I'm hiding 
               Am           C/B   F   F 
Brings out the hatred in me every-day 



C 
 Grab on, to the noose 'round my neck 
        F 
Let the good times roll with the shit 
           G 
What can I say when you're crying 
I'm so sick of trying  
             Am                C/B       F   F 
To make this better even just a   little bit 



C 
 Hold on to what you believe 
          F 
And if you have to...get down on your knees 
              G 
And know that somewhere out there 
          Am 
There's a someone for you 
               C/B                            F  F 
You'll have to trust me because for me it was you 



          C 
We always knew this could happen 
             C/B 
It's just we didn't know how 
              Am 
Life seems to follow a pattern 
             F 
Please don't kick me when I'm down 



C 
 Hold on to what you believe 
          F 
And if you have to...get down on your knees 
              G 
And know that somewhere out there 
          Am 
There's a someone for you 
               C/B                            F 
You'll have to trust me because for me it was you 



C 
 Hold on to what you believe 
          F 
And if you have to...get down on your knees 
              G 
And know that somewhere out there 
          Am 
There's a someone for you 
               C/B  mute                      F  G  C  
You'll have to trust me because for me it was you
