Verse 1

F G

I will leave my heart at the door

Am

I won’t say a word

F G

They’ve all been said before, you know

Am

So why don’t we just play pretend

F G

Like we’re not scared of what is coming next

Am F G

Or scared of having nothing left

Chorus

F G

Look, don’t get me wrong

Am

I know there is no tomorrow

F

All I ask is

G Am

If this is my last night with you

F G

Hold me like I’m more than just a friend

Am

Give me a memory I can use

F G Am

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

F G

It matters how this ends

Am

‘Cause what if I never love again?

Verse 2

F G

I don’t need your honesty

Am

It’s already in your eyes

F G

And I’m sure my eyes, they speak for me

Am

No one knows me like you do

F G

And since you’re the only one that matters

Am

Tell me who do I run to?

F G

Look, don’t get me wrong

Chorus

F G

Look, don’t get me wrong

Am

I know there is no tomorrow

F

All I ask is

G Am

If this is my last night with you

Hold me like I’m more than just a friend

Am

Give me a memory I can use

F G Am

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

F G

It matters how this ends

Am

‘Cause what if I never love again?

Bridge

F G Am

Let this be the lesson we learned

F G Am

Let this be the way we remember

I don’t wanna be cruel or vicious

F

And I ain’t asking for forgiveness

G

All I ask is

Chorus

F G

If this is my last night with you

Am F

Hold me like I’m more than just a friend

G

Give me a memory I can use

Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do

It matters how this ends

G

‘Cause what if I never love again?

What if I never love again?

Am F G

What if I never love again?

Am

Oh
