part. And I need you now tonight
      G                  C
And I need you more than ever
              Am           F
And if you'll only hold me tight
         G             C
We'll be holding on forever
          Am                F
And we'll only be making it right
            G
Cause we'll never be wrong
 
  F                            G
Together we can take it to the end of the line
     Am                          D
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time (all of the time)
  C                             G/B
I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark
      Am                         D
We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
                    C         G/B          Am      F
I really need you tonight, forever's gonna start tonight
   G                    C
Forever's gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love, but now I'm only falling apart
        Dm                    G                    C
