Verse 1

C                                F
When you say you love me I don’t know what you mean
       D7           G7
But it seems like I should
        C                            F                G7
So if I say I’m bruised and torn and other loves have warned me
F                 G7              C
You won’t mind if this one is for good

Verse 2

        G7                       C             Am
I don’t know if I can take it if we can really make it
     G7                            C
I’ve never known a love without an end
           G7                       C                Am
But if you really think we can then you can share my blanket
F         G7               C
And we’ll see what happens then

Verse 3

                                              F
When your coat falls from your shoulders in a heap upon the floor
        D7             G7
And the door behind is closed
        C                              F            G7
I don’t know if I can stand it it’s an awful lot to handle
F                G7               C
Taking scraps of all the things I know

Verse 2

        G7                       C             Am
I don’t know if I can take it if we can really make it
     G7                            C
I’ve never known a love without an end
           G7                       C                Am
But if you really think we can then you can share my blanket
F         G7               C
And we’ll see what happens then

Verse 4

                                 F
When you say you love me I don’t know what to say
    D7            G7
I’m afraid to go along
 C                            F            G7
Afraid that you might hurt me unable to be certain
F                   G7                 C
Afraid that I might turn and you’ll be gone

Verse 5

        G7                       C             Am
I don’t know if I can take it if we can really make it
     G7                           C
I’ll never know a love without an end
           G7                       C                Am
But if you really think we can then you can share my blanket
F         G7               C
And we’ll see what happens then
