Intro: D  Am  C  G

Verse 1:
   D              Am
I'm calling and calling
C                              G
Still you had the heart to hit ignore
 D                Am
Emotions see sore in
  C                             G
So tell me how am I supposed to give more

Pre-chorus:
D                        Am
It's getting colder where we stand
                             C
And I'm trying to touch your hand
                     G
But you're just out of reach
D                              Am
And all I'm really tryin' to say
                          C
Is can you meet me halfway?
                           D
But if you're staying there instead

Chorus:
             D
I'm not gonna beg
                      Am
I'm not gonna make you want me
                           C
I'm not gonna fall to my knees
                         G
I shouldn't have to say please
                  D
I'm not gonna beg
                   Am
'Cause this is beyond unfair
                C
You should wanna be here
                     G
And give my life for love
                   D
But I'm not gonna beg

Verse 2:
D                          Am
It's your way or the highway
   C                             G
There's only so much bend before I break
D                           Am
And it's like I paddled into a tidal wave
   C                              G
And now I feel like all is lost in its wake

Pre-chorus:
 D                       Am
It's getting older every day
                        C
I'm holding on but I'm afraid
                   G
It's not all in my head
D                              Am
There's nothing more that I can say
                        C
You gotta meet me halfway?
                            G
But if you're staying there instead

Chorus:
             D
I'm not gonna beg
                      Am
I'm not gonna make you want me
                           C
I'm not gonna fall to my knees
                         G
I shouldn't have to say please
                  D
I'm not gonna beg
                   Am
'Cause this is beyond unfair
                C
You should wanna be here
                     G
And give my life for love
                   D
But I'm not gonna beg

Interlude: D Am C G

Bridge:
               Em                            D    G
You shouldn't feel like this feel like this baby no
                        Bm
We should be in this together
            E                               D    G
And if it stays like this, stays like this you know
                   A
I won't be here forever no, no

Chorus:
             D
I'm not gonna beg
                      Am
I'm not gonna make you want me
                           C
I'm not gonna fall to my knees
                         G
I shouldn't have to say please
                  D
I'm not gonna beg
                   Am
'Cause this is beyond unfair
                C
You should wanna be here
                     G
And give my life for love
                   D
But I'm not gonna beg

I'm not gonna beg

I'm not gonna beg
