**Note: Gavin does something interesting at the end of his choruses in this song. Rather
the traditional and expected IV-V-I harmonic resolution, he leaves us on the minor ii
Upon listening to the track, you will notice that neither the F Major chord
nor the G Major chord (V)[/ch] quite fit in that spot. Also, I couldn't
out how to get the chords in the right spots over the words, but this is not a

Music and Lyrics by Gavin Degraw
Verse 1:
Am C F
You don’t have to be part of the problem
C
I just need a second chance
Gsus4
I just need a second chance
Am C F
Instead of leaving me standing in sorrow
C
I know that you’ll understand
Gsus4
I’m hoping you’ll understand
Pre-Chorus:
Dm C F
I know that I was wrong
F
But just don’t walk away
Chorus:
C Dm
Oh, won’t you stay
F G
I need you, need you here
C Dm
When you’re with me
F G
All others disappear
C Dm
I’ll follow close
F G
So close I’ll almost touch
C Dm
I need your love
Dm
But it never hurt this much
Verse 2:
Am C F
I don’t want to be someone who’s searching
C
I finally met someone

I finally met someone

And there’s a couple of things I’m still learning

Just gotta figure out
Gsus4
But you need someone who knows

Dm C F
I came to you tonight
F
But now you’re just walking away
Chorus:
C Dm
Oh, won’t you stay

When you’re with me

All others disappear

I’ll follow close

So close I’ll almost touch

I need your love
Dm
But it never hurt this much
Bridge:
Am G F C
Don’t get caught up in it feeling off course today
Am G F C
You could take a minute before you go slipping away
Dm C
I know I took some time
F G
But I realize my mistake
Pre-Chorus:
Am C F
You don’t have to be part of the problem
F
I just need a second chance
Chorus:
C Dm
Oh, won’t you stay
F G
I need you, need you here
C Dm
When you’re with me
F G
All others disappear
C Dm
I’ll follow close
F G
So close I’ll almost touch
C Dm
I need your love
Dm
But it never hurt this much
Dm C G
I need your loving arms tonight
G
But it never hurt this much
Coda:
Am C F
You don’t have to be part of the problem
C
I just need a second chance
