[VERSE 1:]
How can I tell you
   D
To put it all in words?
         C
There is so much left to say
        D                    G
But the meaning slips away


[VERSE 2:]
And how can I show you
   D
To see it through my eyes?
        C
Don't deny that part of you
            Am           D
That's been dying for it too


[PD-C HORUS:]
Em                 C
How do I know if I give you too much?
       D
Will I scare you away?
Em                    C
How do I know when to leave you alone?
        G              D
When to beg you to stay__?
        G
I wanna know


[CHORUS:]
              C            G              C      G
Just how much love does it take to get to you?
             C        Em
I stand here ready to break
Am
Tell me, tell me
D                     G
How much love does it take?


[VERSE 3:]
   Moment to moment
  D
I don't know where it stands
       C
Will I end up like the rest?
           D                 G
Well, it's anybody's guess


[VERSE 4:]
Can I persuade you
   D
So softly in a touch?
        C
If it's all a waste of time
          Am           D
Well, I'm only wasting mine


[PD-C HORUS:]

How do I know when to leave you alone?
