G#               Cm
Why do I try to hide
G#                    Cm
These feelings deep inside?
G#                 D#
But tonight seems too long
    Fm            Gsus4  G
To live this life, all alone

G#                   Cm
I guess I'll have to wait
G#                      Cm
It's almost more than I can take
G#                    Cm
Is it written in the stars?
      A#
This kingdom in your eyes
      Fm
This world could be ours
       A#
So I'm letting go tonight
     Gsus4            G
And handing you the knife

Chorus:
                   G#
If you cut me wide open
                      Cm
There's love here unspoken
              G#
A heart overflowing
             Cm
Dreaming of your kiss
                   G#
I'm standing here hoping
                   Cm
For the moment you say when
         Fm
Touching your skin, giving
     Gsus4        G
You kill me everytime
                 G# Cm
I would die for you

I could go on and pretend
And play the fool again
How can I just walk away
From everything I feel?
When all I wanna say
These scars'll never heal
And they'll never go away

Chorus:
So cut me wide open
There's love here unspoken
A heart overflowing
Dreaming of your kiss
I'm standing here hoping
For the moment you say when
Touching your skin, kissing
You kill me everytime
I would die for you...

        Fm                    A#
There's no way to explain to you
      Fm
Just cursing through my veins
         Cm          Dm
I can't take it any longer
      D#                  Fm          Gsus4  G
This feeling's getting stronger every day, yeah

Chorus:
If you cut me wide open
There's love here unspoken
A heart overflowing
Dreaming of your kiss
I'm standing here hoping
For the moment you say when
Touching your skin, kissing
You kill me everytime
I would die for you...
I would die for you...
I would die for you...
I would die for you
