He Won't Go

(Dm)Some say I'll be better (Am)without you,

but they don't know you (Gm)like I do,

or at least the sides I thought I knew.

I can't (Dm)bear this time, it drags on as I (Am)lose my mind,

reminded by the (Gm)things I find,

like notes and clothes you've left behind.

(Dm)Wake me up, wake me up when (Am)all is done,

I won't rise until this (Gm)battle's won,

my dignity's become undone.

But (Gm7)I (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go, I can't do it on my (Am7)own.

If this ain't love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I'm willing to (Am7)take a (Dm)risk.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go, I can't do it (C)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain't love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I'm willing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

So petrified, I'm so scared to step (Am)into this ride.

What if I lose my heart and (Gm)fail,

declined. I won't forgive me if I give up trying.

I heard his (Dm)voice today, I didn't know a single (Am)word he said,

not one resemblance to the (Gm)man I met.

Just a vacant, broken boy instead.

But (Gm7)I (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go,

I'm willing to (Am7)take the (Gm7)risk.

There will (Am7)be times we'll try to (Dm)give it up,

bursting at the seams, no doubt.

(Gm7)We'll almost fall apart, then burn (Am7)the pieces,

(Bbmaj7)so watch them turn to dust,

but (A7)nothing will ever taint us.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go, I can't do it on my (Am7)own.

If this ain't love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I'm willing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

(Gm7)I (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go, I can't do it (C)on my (Am7)own.

If this ain't love, (C)then what (Gm7)is?

I'm willing to (Am7)take the (Dm)risk.

Will he, will he still (Am)remember me?

Will he still love me even (Gm)when he's free?

Or will he go back to the place where he will choose the poison (Dm)over me?

When we spoke (Am)yesterday, he said to hold my breath and sit and (Gm)wait,

I'll be home so soon, I won't be late.

(Gm7)He (Am7)won't (Bbmaj7)go, he can't do it on his (Am7)own.
