And you can [F#m]stay with [A]me [E]forever
Or you could [F#m]stay with [A]me [B]for now

[chorus]
And tell me if I’m [C#m]wrong
And tell me if I’m [E]right
Tell me if you need a [F#m]loving hand
[A]To help you fall asleep [E]tonight
Tell me if I [C#m]know
Tell me if I [E]do
Tell me how to fall in [F#m]love
[A]The way you want me [E]to

[section 3]
