B
Knock on my door, you're on my porch
It's about 11:30 and that only means
One of two things
Either you're a little bit lonely
Or something ain't right
And judgin' by the tear in your eye
                C#m            G#m
You're about to say something crazy
          F#
Like goodbye

Chorus:
E            B                G#m
Stop right there, don't say a word
             F#
Just let me hold you
E            B              G#m
Girl we can fix whatever it is
             F#
So whatever you do
E            F#                  D#
Don't let us die, the love of a lifetime
             G#m     F#       E
Is worth at least a million tries
E            F#sus4       F#          B
Baby what we got is too good for goodbye

This ain't a game, I'm trying to play
Girl, we got something real here
You don't just break up
Whenever it gets tough
So, baby, don't you leave here
I want you to say you're gonna stay
And we're in this thing forever
Come whatever

Chorus:
So stop right there, don't say a word
Just let me hold you
Girl, we can fix whatever it is
So whatever you do
Don't let us die, the love of a lifetime
Is worth at least a million tries
Baby, what we got is too good for goodbye
Yeah, it's too good for goodbye

Stop right there, don't say a word
Just let me hold you
Girl, we can fix whatever it is
So whatever you do
Don't let us die, the love of a lifetime
Is worth at least a million tries
Baby, what we got is too good for goodbye
Yeah, it's too good for goodbye
