B
Chasin' a heart is like chasin' a ghost
You can't make somebody you love feel the same
         E
If they don't
B
It doesn't matter the words that you say
'Cause just like the seasons,
you can't stop the way
         E
People change

G#m
I'd drive through the night
E
Walk a thousand miles
D#m                      F#
To feel your head on my chest
G#m
I'd give anythin'
E
That's what's killin' me
        D#m                             F#
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed

Chorus:
     B
The silence is gettin' too cold
        F#
We stop fightin'
                                 G#m
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
                                 D#m
Just for once, what do you want, baby,
              E
tell me the truth
                                     B
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?

All of your friends now were all of mine first
Your mom and your dad, they were both
there for me when mine weren't
I can't see tomorrow without you today
But I'd rather let you go than make you
feel like you've gotta stay

I'd drive through the night
Walk a thousand miles
To feel your head on my chest
I'd give anythin'
That's what's killin' me
'Cause you won't even reach across the bed

Chorus:
The silence is gettin' too cold
We stop fightin'
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want, baby,
tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
So come on, don't be afraid to break my heart
It only gets worse if you wait
Just for once, what do you want, baby,
tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?

B                F#
I'm so sorry, I wish I could be
    G#m     D#m      E
The one to love you more
            B
I hope you find somebody
F#             G#m            D#m      E
Who's got everythin' you're searchin' for

Chorus:
The silence is gettin' too cold
We stopped fightin'
'Cause deep down inside, we both know
Just for once, what do you want, baby,
tell me the truth
Do you only love me 'cause you have to?
