VERSE 1:
G
It's hard for me to say the things
D
I want to say sometimes
G
There's no one here but you and me
D
And that broken old street light
Bm
Lock the doors
G A—RUN—UP RIFF
We'll leave the world outside
Bm G
All I've got to give to you
A
Are these five words tonight
1st Chorus:
D G
Thank you for loving me
A A—RUN—UP RIFF
For being my eyes
D
When I couldn't see
Bm/Bb
For parting my lips
E
When I couldn't breathe
D G A—RUN—UP RIFF
Thank you for loving me
D G A—DOWN RIFF
Thank you for loving me
VERSE 2: (same as Verse 1)
I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky's a different blue
Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you'd make believe
That you believed my lies
2nd Chorus:
D G
Thank you for loving me
A A—RUN—UP RIFF
For being my eyes
D
When I couldn't see
Bm/Bb
For parting my lips
E
When I couldn't breathe
D G A—RUN—UP RIFF
Thank you for loving me
BRIDGE:
G
You pick me up when I fall down
A
You ring the bell before they count me out
E Bm
If I was drowning you would part the sea
G D A
And risk your own life to rescue me
Solo

Play Intro Again
(Figure out the lead yourself..its almost the exact
same as the other lead intro lead!)
I watched Bon Jovi play this live at the Palace of
Auburn Hills near Detroit and this is how I saw them
play it...it got a huge response!
If anyone wants any other song tabbed by Bon Jovi..any
album..write and I'll see what I can do.
If there are any mistakes e—mail me or send the
correction in yourself.
I'm currently tabbing "The Next 100 years"
