                 C      G     Am   C               F                                   G
    Do you love me,                 or are you just extending goodwill?
                    C          G        Am              C                F          Dm       G
    Do you need me half as bad as you say, or are you just feeling guilt?
                    Am            G               F             C
    I've been burned before and I know the score,
                   F             Dm          G
     so you won't hear me complain.
C                 G        Am          C        F           G         C
    Will I be able to count on you, or is your love in vain?

            C         G                 Am       C               F             G   C
    Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude?
              C      G       Am             C   F         Dm       G
    When I am in the darkness,        why do you intrude?
                   Am         G                     F            C
    Do you know my world, do you know my kind,
    F          Dm    G
    or must I explain?
C                G       Am      C        F          G         C
    Will you let me be myself, or is your love in vain?

                       F                 G                         C               Am
    Well, I've been to the mountain and I've been in the wind,
                    F         G                 C
    I've been in and out of happiness.
                 F              G                       C          Am
    I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings,
                    F               Dm      G
    and I've never been too impressed.

C       G             Am                        C            F       G             C
    All right, I'll         take a chance,       I will fall in love with you,
        C      G                  Am          C                      F           Dm          G
    if I'm a fool, you can have the night, you can have the morning, too.
                   Am           G               F            C
    Can you cook and sew, make flowers grow,
                 F       Dm          G
    do you understand my pain?
      C           G          Am    C       F          G         C
    Are you willing to risk it all, or is your love in vain?

                   Am           G               F            C

                 F       Dm          G
    do you understand my pain?
