Amaj7 Gbm7 Dbm7 E7
I can love you desperately, though your love ain't guaranteed
Amaj7 Gbm7
Oh, I wish you knew the deal, gotta learn from far away
Dbm7 E7
And I simply needed space
Amaj7 Gbm7
Space for me to be, and I think you need it too
Dbm7 E7
Though I know you call me selfish for assuming

Even though I'm far away
Please believe me when I say

Everything I do, I'm gonna think of you

Calling me a fool, saying that I've effed up everything

And you'll never forgive me, though I'm doing this for you
Gbm7 Dbm7
Baby, can't you see if there is such a thing

To let you grow into the person that I know, that I know you can be
And I can be one too
