 If you said goodbye to me tonight

 There would still be music left to write

 Once I thought my innocence was gone

 I'm that voice you're hearing in the hall
 C   C/Bb Am  Am/G F         C  
 And the greatest miracle of all
 E            Am     
  It's how I need you
 G              C          
  And how you needed me too
 F             C                G       C  
  That hasn't happened for the longest time
 
 Bridge 
 
  Em               Am           
 Maybe this won't last very long
      B7              
 But you feel so right
     C               
 And I could be wrong
  Em              Am            
 Maybe I've been hoping too hard
     B7                           G                   
 But I've come this far and it's more than I hoped for

 I don't care what consequence it brings
 C C/Bb  Am Am/G F               C   
 I have been a fool for lesser things
 E            Am   
  I want you so bad
