F  Bb  C
[Verse 1]
F
I remember how your eyes used to light up
Bb                     G
Over promises that I made
C
But for the first time in my life I know now
Bb        C           F
How it feels to be afraid

[Verse 2]
F                     Bb             F
I don't know what I'd do if you go away
F                                  Bb
This would sure be one lonely old town
Bb            C          A         Bb
For a man so busy going up in the world
G                                  C  G
That he couldn't see love coming down
F              C
Love coming down


[Verse 3]
F
I remember all the times you told me
Bb                          G
Love's all that matters to you
C
And looking back now, wondering how I believed
Bb                C            F
I had things more important to do


[Verse 4]
F
I can see how I must have looked to you
F                       Bb       G
Like some fool on a merry-go-round
Bb            C          A         Bb
For a man so busy going up in the world
G                                  C  G
That he couldn't see love coming down
F         C    F
Love coming down

[Bridge]
C                                    Bb                    C
Can't you see how everything I've learned would just be wasted
F            C
If you leave me
F
You just give one more try
C                                    F    C
I swear I'll always be here when you need me


[Verse 6]
F                            Bb             F
If you can find it in your heart to forgive me
F                                      Bb
I'll try to keep both my feet on the ground
Bb                 C          A         Bb
Forgive a man so busy going up in the world
G                             C      G
That he couldn't see love coming down
F        C    F
Love coming down
