D#         F
I want to help you
    A#            Gm
But I don't know how
D#         F
I want to soothe you
    A#             Gm
But I can't speak out

D#
I have many fears about rejection
A#
I have many memories of pain
D#
I have always been a little shy
F                               A#
So I'll turn and look the other way

Chorus:
D#     Cm
Other way
F     A#
Other way
D#               Cm             F
I will turn and look the other way

I want to hold you
But I am afraid
I want to touch you
But I'm not that way

I have many doubts about my motives
I have many fears about my greed
I have always hurt the one that I love
So I'll turn and look the other way

Chorus

I have many doubts about my motives
I have many fears about my greed
I have always hurt the one that I love
So I'll turn and look the other way

Chorus - x3

(Other way) The other way
(Other way) The other way
(Other way) The other way
(Other way) The other way
