       A#   C  Am A#
When I look at you
I can see the sadness in your eyes
In these desperate times
We get pushed and shoved from every side

         A#   C      Am        Dm
I can't love you if you won't let me,
Can't touch me if you don't try
I can feel you
I know that you're ready
    A#            C      Dm
to take it to the other side

Chorus:
Dm                  A#
Love will keep us alive,
                C                  Am     Dm
let's make the moment right, it's now or never,
Dm                 A#
Love will keep us alive
          C                   Am      Dm
Even the darkest night, will shine forever
A#         C        Dm
Love will keep us alive
A#         C        Dm
Love will keep us alive
A#     C                 Dm
Love, love will keep us alive

When you walk away
There's an empty feeling in my mind
As the days go by
We get caught up in our separate lives

If you need me
You know I'll come running
Right to you
Just give me a sign
I won't leave you
We'll make it together
And take it to the end of time

Chorus

Oh, I've got a lot of loving to show you
You know I'd never want to control you
I only want to be by your side
I can't love you if you won't let me

Can't touch me if you don't try
I can feel you
I know that you're ready to
take it to the other side

Chorus
