With true love and affec_tion

Ab/Bb
 I know it's going to be quite a challenge

F#             D#m7
 So many times  I didn't let you in

 Like a fool I walked away,  I started an argument yeah

     Pre-Chorus
     F#                         D#m7
      Why do I do the things I do

     When my heart belongs to you
                                 Bmaj7
     I failed to help you truly see

     How I really feel inside, I was scared
  
     F#                                D#m7
