Verse I:
Bm F#m
Some say I’ll be better without you,
Em
but they don’t know you like I do
Or at least the sides I thought I knew
Bm F#m
I can’t bear this time, it drags on as I lose my mind
Em
Reminded by things I find, like notes
and clothes you’ve left behind
Bm F#m
Wake me up, wake me up when all is done
Em
I won’t rise until this battle’s won,
my dignity’s become undone
CHORUS:
Em F#m G G A F#m
But I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
I’m willing to take the risk
Em F#m G G A F#m
I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
I’m willing to take the risk
Verse II:
Bm F#m
So petrified, I’m so scared to step into this ride
Em
What if I lose my heart and fail, declined
I won’t forgive me if I give up trying
Bm F#m
I heard his voice today, I didn’t know
a single word he said
Em
Not one resemblance to the man I met,
just a vacant broken boy instead
CHORUS:
Em F#m G G A F#m
But I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
I’m willing to take the risk
Em F#m G G A F#m
I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Em…
I, I’m willing to take the risk
BRIDGE:
F#m Bm
There will be times, we’ll try and give it up
(D)
Bursting at the seams, no doubt
Em F#m
We’ll almost fall apart, then burn to pieces
G F#
So watch them turn to dust,
but nothing will ever taint us
CHORUS:
Em F#m G G A F#m
I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
I’m willing to take the risk
Em F#m G G A F#m
I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm…
I, I’m willing to take the risk
Verse III:
…F#m
Will he, will he still remember me?
Em
Will he still love me even when he’s free?
Bm
Or will he go back to the place where he will choose
the poison over me?
F#m Em
When we spoke yesterday, he said to hold my breath
and sit and wait
I’ll be home so soon, I won’t be late
CHORUS:
Em F#m G G A F#m
He won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
He’s willing to take the risk
Em F#m G G A F#m
So I won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
I’m willing to take the risk
CHORUS:
Em F#m G G A F#m
‘Cause he won’t go, he can’t do it on his own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm
We’re willing to take the risk
Em F#m G G A F#m
I won’t go, I can’t do it on my own
F#m G Em
If this ain’t love, then what is?
Em F#m Bm (F# Bm)
I’m willing to take the risk.
