C
I wish I could live free
 G 
Hope it's not beyond me
Am                  Dm
Settling down takes   time

One day we'll live together
And life will be better
I have it here, yeah, in my mind

C               G              Am  Dm
Baby, you know someday you'll slow
     C   G                 Am    Dm
And baby, my hearts been breaking.

C  G      Am       Dm
I gave a lot to you
C  G      Am            Dm
I take a lot from you too
C    G       Am       Dm
You slave a lot for me
                    C  C          Am  Dm
Guess you could say I gave you my edge

    C                        G 
But I can't pretend I don't need
                Am             Dm
to defend some part of me from you
    C                    G    Am  Dm
I know I've spent some time lying

I can't pretend I don't need to defend
Some part of me from you
I know I've spent some time a-lying

You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
You're looking alright tonight
I think we should go
