                       B
I gotta take a little time
          E                   G#m
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older

Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like the world upon my shoulders
Through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder

      C#m
In my life there's been heartache and pain.
I don't know if I can face it again.
                                          E
Can't stop now. I've traveled so far to change
B/D#  C#m  B  F#
this lonely life.

Chorus:
B                        F#/A#
I want to know what love is.
C#m B           F#
I want you to show me.
B                        F#/A#
I want to feel what love is.
C#m B            F#
I know you can show me.

I'm gonna take a little time
A little time to look around me
I've got nowhere left to hide
It looks like love has finally found me

In my life, there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Chorus

Oh, in my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Chorus - x2
