IntroDAm7DGVerse 1Am7DG
There are times when a woman has to say what's on her mind
AmD7G
Even though she knows how much it's gonna hurt
Am7D7GEm7
Before I say another word, let me tell you "I love you"
AmCAm7D
Let me hold you close, and say these words as gently as I can
Verse 2Am7DG
"There's been another man that I've needed and I've loved,
AmD7G
But that doesn't mean I love you less,
Am7D7GEm7
And he knows he can't possess me, and he knows he never will,
AmCAm7D
There's just this empty place inside of me that only he can fill"
ChorusAmD7BmE7
Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
AmD7GE7
Loving both of you is breaking all the rules

Torn between two lovers, feeling like a fool
Am7D7G
Loving you both is breaking all the rules
Verse 3Am7DG
You mustn't think you failed me just because there's someone else
AmD7G
You were the first real love I ever had,
Am7D7GEm7
And all the things I ever said I swear they still are true
AmCAm7D
For no one else can have the part of me I gave to you
ChorusAmD7BmE7

Couldn't really blame you if you turned and walked away
AmCAm7D
But with everything I feel inside, I'm asking you to stay
