Verse 1
I can't sleep nights
Wishing you were here beside me
Can't help feelin'
That's the way it ought to be
You know we could run (run, run away)
But I couldn't bear to hear the things they'd say, oh no
Chorus
Baby, let's pretend that tonight could live forever
If we close our eyes and believe it might come true
Baby, let's pretend we could always [1,4: be 2,3: live] together
But for now just let me spend the night with you
[1: CaddD /D; to verse 2]
[2: to bridge]
[3, 4: CaddD /D; repeat]
Verse 2
Somehow, someday
Things are gonna be so different
Don't cry, some way
I promise it'll be all right
So now that we're all alone
I couldn't bear to leave to take you home, oh no
[repeat chorus]
Bridge
So take me now, my love can't wait
We're almost there now, darlin', darlin'
Hold me (hold me), hold me (hold me)
Ho-oh-old me
[repeat chorus to end; start to fade 2nd time]
