[Verse]
A
Well I guess it would be nice if I could touch your body
D A
I know not everybody has got a body like you
A
But I've got to think twice before I give my heart away
D A
And I know all the games you play because I play them too
D A
Oh, but I need some time off from that emotion
D A
Time to pick my heart up off the floor
D A F#m7
Oh when that love comes down without devotion
Bm E
Well it takes a strong man baby but I'm showing you the door
[Chorus]
A
‘Cause I gotta have faith, I gotta have faith
Because I gotta have faith, faith, faith
I gotta have faith, faith, a-faith ah
[Verse]
A
BABY, I know you're asking me to stay
D
Say please, please, please don't go away
A
You say I'm giving you the blues
A
MAYBE, you mean every word you say
D
Can't help but think of yesterday
A
And another who tied, me, down, to, lover boy rules
[Chorus]
D A
Before this river becomes an ocean
D A
Before you throw my heart back on the floor
D A F#m7
Oh-baby-I reconsider my foolish notion
Bm E
Well I need someone to hold me but I'll wait for something more
[Solo]
