Em                    D/F#             G
I've been thinking of what to say to you
Em                      D/F#           G
But I haven't found the words yet to use
    Em            D/F#    G           
And this may very well be out of our control
    Em               D/F#              G
But I can't stand to see you with your heart so exposed

[Chorus]
   C                  D       G       D/F#     Em 
If I could swallow it all and take it from you now
       C          D         G    D/F#  Em
Oh I'd drink this poisonous news some--how
C D               G   D/F#  Em 
  If I only had a way
C D               G   D/F#  Em 
  If I only had a way

C  D  G

[Verse 2]
Em                    D/F#             G
I've been thinking of what to say to you
Em                      D/F#           G
But I haven't found the words yet to use
    Em           D/F#            G
I'm sorry for my silence but I'm praying for away
   Em             D/F#        G
To empty out your sadness and end your pain
Em            D/F#                   G
Oh my love be strong, don't let your heart be afraid
      Em     F#m       G
Cause I will always be here for you
   Em            F#m         G
Oh I will always be here for you

[Chorus]
   C                  D       G       D/F#     Em 
If I could swallow it all and take it from you now
       C          D         G    D/F#  Em
Oh I'd dream this poisonous news some--how
C D               G   D/F#  Em 
  If I only had a way
C D               G   D/F#  Em 
  If I only had a way

C  D  G  D/F#  Em

C  D  G  D/F#  Em

C D               G
  If I only had a way
