Intro E11/A  A7M  E11/A  A7M  
        A11/D  D7M  A11/D 

            E11/A        A7M 
Don't wanna open your heart? 
         E11/A              A7M 
You're afraid from the start 
       A11/D                 D7M     A11/D  D7M 
That a new love's gonna let you down 
          E11/A        A7M 
There is something you should know 
            E11/A         A7M 
Before you give up and go 
           A11/D       D7M     A11/D  D7M  
I don't believe in the run around 
Bm7             C#m7   
I just want to define myself 
    F#m       B7    D9/E 
And show you how l feel 

                   D7M 
If a promise ain't enough 
E                   E11/A A7M   
Then a touch says everything 
F#m7                 Bm7  
Got to hold you in my arms 
E                  E11/A  A7M  E11/A  A7M 
Till you feel what I mean 
             D7M                  E 
Know that my heart just tells me what to say 
              F#m7          B7 
But words can only prove so much 
                   D7M    D9/E 
If a promise ain't enough, oh, oh 
             E11/A A7M  E11/A 
Hold onto my love, humm 

          E11/A          A7M 
Though my words can't describe 
        E11/A         A7M 
How I'm feeling all inside 
        A11/D          D7M   A11/D  D7M 
Does my touch say anything to you 
        E11/A       A7M 
I'm not afraid to take time 
         E11/A       A7M 
'Cause I know you'll find 
        A11/D                D7M   A11/D  D7M 
That l'm real and my touch is true 

Bm7              C#m7   
It's taken a lifetime to find my heart 
      F#m7      B7    D9/E 
And I give it all to you 

                  D7M 
If a promise ain't enough 
E                   E11/A A7M   
Then a touch says everything 
F#m7                 Bm7  
Got to hold you in my arms 
E                  E11/A 
Till you feel what I mean 

( A7M  E11/A  A7M ) 

             D7M                   E 
Know that my heart just tells me what to say 
              F#m7          B7 
But words can only prove so much 
                    D7M    D9/E 
If a promise ain't enough, oh, oh 
          E11/A A7M  E11/A  
Hold onto my love, yeah 

( A7M  A11/D  D7M  A11/D  D7M ) 

Bm7                   C#m7   
It took a lifetime to find what I want 
       F#m7  B7    D9/E 
I won't let it get away 

                    D7M 
If a promise ain't enough 
E                   E11/A A7M   
Then a touch says everything 
F#m7                 Bm7  
Got to hold you in my arms 
E                  E11/A A7M  E11/A A7M 
Till you feel what I mean 
             D7M                  E

              F#m7          B7 
But words can only prove so much 
                   D7M    D9/E 
If a promise ain't enough, oh, hold on
