Dm Bb
I cannot help it
F C
I couldn't stop it if I tried
Dm Bb
The same old heartbeat
F C Dm Bb
fills the emptyness I have inside

And I've heard that you can't fight love

so I won't complain
F C Bb
Coz why would I stop the fire that keeps me going on
Chorus
F
Coz when there's you
C
I feel whole
G Dm
And there's no better feelin in this world
Bb F
But without you

I'm alone
G Bb
And I'd rather be in love with you
Verse 2
Dm Bb
Turn out the lights now
F C
To see is to believe
Dm Bb
I just want you near me
F C Dm Bb
I just want you here with me
F C Dm Bb
And I'd give up everything only for you
F C Bb
It's the least that I could do
Repeat Chorus, but add on
Dm Bb F C
and I feel you holding me
Dm Bb F C
