INTRO:
D // G // Bm // A //
 
 
VERSE I:
D                    G                A
Every single time I see you, start to feel this way
D                      G           A
Makes me wonder if I'm ever gonna feel this way again
D                  G              A
There's a picture hanging in the back of my head
D                 G     A
I see it over and over
 
        Bm            A/C#       D
I wanna hold you, and love you, in my arms and then
        Bm                 A/C#        D
I wanna need you, 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
   Bm            A/C#              D
But then I hear myself reply "You've gotta hold it in
     G5        A5
this time, tonight"
 
 
CHORUS:
D     G       Bm              A
 If only... I had the guts to feel this way
D     G           Bm              A
 If only... you'd look at me and want to stay
Bm              G              A
 If only... I'd take you in my arms and say
G5          A5
"I won't go 'cause I need you"
 
 
D // G // Bm // A
 
 
VERSE II:
D                              G                 A
I sit here waitin', wonderin', hopin', that I'll make this right
D                                G                    A
'Cause all I think about is your hands, your face, and all these lonely nights
D                        G                A
There's a feeling that's screaming in the back of my head
D                 G     A
Saying it over and over
 
        Bm             A/C#     D
I wanna hold you, and love you, in my arms and then
        Bm                 A/C#       D
I wanna need you, 'cause I need to be with you 'til the end
Bm            A/C#               D
Then I hear myself reply "She'll never let you in
    G5      A5
this time, tonight"
 
 
- REPEAT CHORUS - (and then add this)
G5              A5
Please don't go, 'cause I need you now
 
 
BRIDGE:
Em7                   D
I want to hear you say it'll always be this way
A                             D              Bm
and we'll be hand in hand for every night and every day
Em7                       D
I want to scream and shout 'cause I'm losing every doubt
A                       D             Bm
and all I care about is you and me and us and now
 
D // G // Bm // A //  x4
 
G5 // G5 // A5 // A5 //  x2
 
"Yeah!"...
 
 
- REPEAT CHORUS -
 
 
OUTRO:
D // G // Bm // A //
play a couple of times, then end on D

Tab deserves a five, but a Hanson hater must have given it a one, because I gave a five. Rock on buddy!
