C#
Breakdown
I can't take this
I need somewhere to
G# C#
go   I need you
I'm so restless
I don't know
        G#
what to do

            A#m
Cause we've had our
rough times
F#
Fighting all night
    C#
And now you're just
          G#
slipping away
   A#m
So give me this chance
   G#
To make the wrongs
         F#
right to say
G#
Don't, don't
don't walk away

Chorus:
C#       G#
I promise I won't
                 D#m
let you down you down
        F#
If you take my
G#     C#
hand tonight I promise
G#             D#m
We'll be just fine this time
        F#      G#
If you take my hand tonight

C# F#        G#             C#  F# G#
     If you take my hand tonight

Without you I go
through the motions
Without you it's
just not quite the same
Without you I don't
want to go out
I just wanted to say

That I'm sick of these fights
I'll let you be right
If it stops you from running away
So give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say
Don't, don't, don't walk away

Chorus

C#      F#
Take my hand
C#      F#
Take my hand
I promise
C#      F#
Take my hand
I promise
C#   F#
Take my
G#
hand Go!

Chorus

C#      G#             D#m
If you take my hand tonight
          F#
And I'll wait you down
    G#             C#
to take my hand tonight
