[Verse 1]
 C                          Bm7
Hey, I didn't mean a thing I said last night.
   Am                           G#
I swear I didn't mean a word I used.
C                               D
You don't have to listen, baby. You have every right
    F                  C               Dm     Dm/G
to feel that heart of yours has been abused.
              C                       E7
I know I've used up all my chances a long, long time ago
        F                               G#
and I really don't deserve to call you mine,
           C
but, if I told you that I loved you,
         G
could I lay back down beside you?
            F          G             C
Could you take it on faith one more time?
F  C  F  C


[Verse 2]
 C                         Bm7
Look at me I'm crying... imagine me crying.
            Am                 G#
Well, it's time I learned to anyway,
  C                             D
'cause if you're really set on one of us leaving,
    F                    C             Dm     Dm/G
I guess there's really nothing left to say.
     C
It seems like such a shame,
          E7
but baby, I could never blame you, baby,
       F                          G#
for leaving this old story far behind
           C
and if I told that I love you,
         G
could I lay back down beside you?
            F          G               C
Could you take it on faith one more time?

[Bridge]
Am               E7
I know I promised to you before
F                     F#dim7
I wouldn't do anything to hurt you no more
C                          G#m
If I could take it all back and start again...
Am                D
take it all back    well maybe then,
         C
I could tell you that I love you.
F
I could lay back down beside you.
C
I could tell you that I love you,
F
I could lay back down beside you.
       C                                G
If I told you that I love you, could I lay back down beside you?
           F           G             C
Could you take me on faith one more time?
