C               D
If I was who I was before
     G             Em
Then I'd be waiting at your door
But I cannot confess I am the same
So look at me and hear me now
With all my body screaming out
Oh, in my mind, I'm thinking of a place

Where no one knows me
And no one knows you
You don't know me
And I don't know you

If you would open up your heart
Drop your weapons, drop your guard
Just a little trust is all it takes
Oh, I know that you've been around
But hear me now, I'm crying out
Let me be the light upon the lake

Chorus:
          Am               D
But if you give a little, get a little
 G                      C       G/B
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

Give a little, get a little, give a little
Give a little, get a little, give a little

If only we could find a way
To leave all of our darker days
Soak in all the sweetness on our skin
And if you're waiting in the Sun
Then carry me on wings of love
To that brighter day where all begins

Chorus:
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

Give a little, get a little, give a little
Give a little, get a little, give a little

Chorus:
But if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could get to know each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little
And if you give a little, get a little
Maybe we could learn to love each other
Give a little, get a little, give a little

But if no one knows me
And no one knows you
You don't know me
And I don't know you
Everything's fresh and
Everything's new
But you don't know me
And I don't know you
I can feel it starting up now, yeah
I can feel it all just coming through
There's a whole new world just waiting baby
So much waiting just for me and you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
