D                        G                  D
If I could just try to reach out from the dark
G                  D                  A
To put my dizzy head beside my heart
D                               G                   D
And if I could just lie in silence here for a while
G                     D                A
I'd picture all the times you made me smile...

G                     A
I want you to know...

CHORUS
             G         A                    D
That if you go, you'll take a piece of me
             G              A                        D
The world I know would be brought down to its knees
             G              A             D       E
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
           G
So if you have to leave,
              A                       D
Promise that you take me with you there

VERSE
D                      G                   D
If we could just stop time from going so fast
G                   D                     A
We take the moments in and we make them last
D                            G                 D
And if we could just try to look back at our lives
G                   D                    A
Back when we were young and we felt so alive

G                     A
I want you to know...

CHORUS
            G           A              D
That if you go, you'll take a piece of me
             G              A                   D
The world I know would be brought down to its knees
             G              A             D       E
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
           G
So if you have to leave,
              A
Promise that you take me....

BRIDGE
Bm                      F#m
I'll do my best to move on
                       A
Try my hardest to be strong
                           G
But I know you're always beside me
Bm                           F#m
And every lonely road I walk on
                            A
Will hear me singing this song
                         G
'Cause it reminds me of you

VERSE
D
If I could pretend
G                    D
Pretend it's a dream
G           D               A
It's not as bad as it seems

CHORUS
        G          A               D
if you go, you'll take a piece of me
             G              A                        D
The world I know would be brought down to its knees
             G              A           D       E
And a pain inside would be too much for me to bear
           G
So if you have to leave,
              A
Promise that you take me...
           G
and if you have to leave,
              A                       D
Promise that you take me with you there
