Dm                          C
I came here without a choice
A#
I'm sorry I can never thank you
Gm
For saving me more trouble
   F               Dm
I didn't want any trouble
Dm
If you were given one more chance
            C               A#
Would you bring me back to life?
Bring me back into the light
          Gm F Dm
Into the light

A#                           Am      A#
And let it shine on, let it shine on us

Chorus:
F                                          Am
And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
C                                          Dm
And if I say I love you, well, then I love you

The innocence in your face bled out without a trace
You've won without an enemy, you're ill without a remedy
As night bleeds into night, and I know I came off better than you
It doesn't mean that I feel better
It doesn't mean that I feel better

And let it shine on, let it shine on us

Chorus - x2

A#               C
Show me your hands
Dm                         C
Are they cleaner than mine?
F                Gm
Show me your face
Dm                     C
Did you cross the line?
A#               C
Show me your eyes
Dm                  C
Any drier than mine?
F                 Gm
Your soul survives
A#
But peace you'll never find

Chorus:
A#                       C             Dm   C
  And if I say I love you, then I love you
F                        Gm            A#
  And if I say I love you, then I love you
A#                       C             Dm   C
  And if I say I love you, then I love you
F                        Gm            A#   C
  And if I say I love you, then I love you
