[Verse 2]
G
I could walk the snow
Em
without my shoes,
Am
I don’t need to sing the blues,
D
Or keep searching for clues,
D
About how you’re feeling.
G
And I don’t even need
Em
to be your only man,
Am
Just love me when you can,
Cmaj7
One day I’ll understand,
G
I’m under your command.

[Verse 3]
G* N.C.
I don’t need to be on this plane,
Em
Or in this car,
Am
I’ve been both near and far,
D
Pretending to be a big star,
D
And never believing it.
G
I could walk the block
Em
right by your side,
Am
Our whole world a mile wide,
Cmaj7
Until the day we died,
G
No darling don’t you cry.
