[Verse 1]

C  F                        Fmaj7
Oh God they got you gun shy
               Bb6
You know your skin's as cold as ice
      Gm7
Your eyes are double filtered babe
          C7
Your so afraid to be nice

[Verse 2]

        F                    Fmaj7
There's no way you're ready
              Bb6
To let your defenses down
      Gm7
No I won't come on heavy
             C7
There is a lesson that I found

[Chorus]

               F                 Fmaj7
If you try to look but you don't touch
                Gm7
Then you won't touch, but you'll never feel
                 Am7
And if you don't feel, you'll never cry
           Bb6      C7                   F
And if you don't cry, then you'll never heal


Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb

[Verse 3]

  C          F            Fmaj7
There are lessons to life
          Bb
That the lover's got to learn
            C7                                  Bb
There are corners out there, you know they're waitin' somewhere
        C6                     F
And you got to be prepared to turn
             F                Fmaj7
There are calluses that come
          Bb
That the lover's got to earn
        C7                               Bb
In the years of your youth you can't be fire proof
             C6                 F
You know you got to get burned

[Chorus]

                   F                       Fmaj7
And if you try to look but you don't touch
                Gm7
Then you won't touch, but you'll never feel
                 Am7
And if you don't feel, you'll never cry
            Bb6     C7                   F
And if you don't cry, then you'll never heal


Fmaj7 Bb6 Bb

[Verse 4]

  C        F                  Fmaj7
Can't you feel the excitement
          Bb6
Feel it welling up inside
      Gm7
What makes you think emotions
        C7
Are something that you hide
        F                  Fmaj7
Yes I might take advantage
             Bb6
But I'll be gentle if I do
         Gm7
And I'll be here in the morning
        C7
Still lookin' at you

[Verse 5]
