If I could wri

       
te you a song
             
With all the r

Then would the

       
se black cloud

s begin to bur

n up

The moment you

 heard?

             
If I could mak

      
e you a map,
             
Would you find

      
 your way home

?
             
You know you c

      
an't keep me a

live

Leave me alone

.

Chorus:

Tell me I'm yo

urs.

Tell me you're

 mine.
            
Tell me I'm an

    
ything but fin

e.

Tell me a stor

y.

Tell me the ti

me.
            
Tell me a lie.

 

             
If I could mak

     
e you a tape
             
With all the r

If I could pai

Just lookin' f

or tonight.

So ...Chorus

And ...Chorus

And...Chorus

             
You said that 

              
words can only

    
 get you so fa

r,
            
But I've got s

              
entences that 

    
cover up all m

y scars.
             
In the end I m

              
ight forget wh

    
ere they are,
            
Talk to me ton

        
ight.

             
And if we star

              
ted all over t

  
oday,
            
I think we kno

              
w that we'd en

  
d up in the sa

me place.
             
Maybe you're r

              
ight and we've

  
 got nothing t

o say,
            
I want to hear

             
 it anyway.
I want to hear it anyway.
