Chorus:
            G                         D/F#
Well, I'm shameless when it comes to loving you
                     Em
I'd do anything you want me to,
                   C  A#/C
I'd do anything at all
          G                        D/F#
And I'm standing here for all the world to see
                           Em
Ah, there ain't that much left of me
                  C      A#/C
that has very far to fall

         D                   B7/D#
You know I'm not a man who's ever been
    Em                              Am7
Insecure about the world I've been living in
   D                  B7/D#
I don't break easy, I have my pride
       Em              F    F#
But if you need to be satisfied

Chorus:
I'm shameless, baby I don't have a prayer
Every time I see you standing there
I go down upon my knees
And I'm changin' swore I'd never compromise
Oh but you convinced me otherwise
I'll do anything you please

You see in all my life I've never found
What I couldn't resist what I couldn't turn down
I can walk away from anyone I ever knew
But I can't walk away from you

        A#                                   Am
I have never let anything have this much control
over me
   G#                                D# D#/G D#/A
I worked too hard to call my life my own
        A#
Well, I made myself a world and it worked so
Am
perfectly
          G#
But it's your world now, I can't refuse
Am              D7
I never had so much to lose
          G
Oh, I'm shameless

You know it should be easy for a man who's strong
To say he's sorry or admit when he's wrong
I've never lost anything I've ever missed
But I've never been in love like this
It's out of my hands

Chorus:
I'm shameless, I don't have the power now
I don't want it anyhow
So I got to let it go
Oh I'm shameless, shameless as a man can be
You make a total fool of me
I just wanted to you to know
