If You Let Me

E  A  E  A


[Verse 1]

E                      A
   What if I never had met you
E                            A
   I wonder would it have been worse
E                       A
   Not ever knowing the happiness
E                                    A
   If it meant I was spared from the hurt


[Pre-chorus]

     B
It's clear that you want her
    C#m
She looks like a picture
      G#m                 A
While inside I'm silently screaming


[Chorus]

        E
I could love you
                       G#m
I could be the one who holds you
                              C#m
When the world comes crashing down
             B           A
So you won't ever feel alone

        E
I could love you
                            G#m
If you'd trust me with your heart I'd
                         C#m
Keep it safe like it was mine
        B                 A
Be your shelter from the storm

       E          A
If you let me
       E          A
If you let me


[Verse 2]

E                                A
   I thought you were mine for a moment
E                           A
   One flickering glimmer of hope
E                               A
   All at once it was like I enchanted you
E                               A
   Just as quickly the magic was gone


[Pre-chorus]

   B
So I'll do what's best and
     C#m
Hold back from confessing
   G#m                A
In secret I'm quietly dying


[Chorus]

        E
I could love you
                       G#m
I could be the one who holds you
                              C#m
When the world comes crashing down
             B           A
So you won't ever feel alone

        E
I could love you
                            G#m
If you'd trust me with your heart I'd
                         C#m
Keep it safe like it was mine
        B                 A
Be your shelter from the storm

       E          A
If you let me
       E          A
If you let me


[Bridge]

B                      C#m
   What am I supposed to do
B     C#m    B        A
   If nobody ever lives up to you


[Chorus]

        E
I could love you
                       G#m
I could be the one who holds you
                              C#m
When the world comes crashing down
             B           A
So you won't ever feel alone

        E
I could love you
                            G#m
If you'd trust me with your heart I'd
                         C#m
Keep it safe like it was mine
        B                 A
Be your shelter from the storm

       E          A
If you let me
       E
If you let me
