We are young, 

Heart-ache to heart-ache we stand

No prom-is-es, no de-mands

Love Is A Bat-tle-field


-10 9     8

We are strong, 

-8 -8   8   -8  7    9     8
-4 -4   5   -4  4    6     5
no one can tell us we're wrong

  -10  9   -9    8    -8  -9 8-98
  -6   6   -5    5    -4  -5 5-55
Search-in' our hearts for so long, 

 -8  -8 8   -8   7
 -4  -4 5   -4   4
both of us know-ing

You're beg-gin' me to go, 

 7   -7  -7  -7  -8
 4   -3  -3  -3  -4
then mak-in' me stay

 8  8   8   8   7  -8 -8
 5  5   5   5   4  -4 -4
Why do you hurt me so bad?

It would help me to know

7  7   -7  -7  -7  -8
4  4   -3  -3  -3  -4  
Do I stand in your way, 

8  8  8  8   8     7    -8    -8
5  5  5  5   5     4    -4    -4
or am I the best thing you've had?

8    8   8   8    8   8
5    5   5   5    5   5
Be-lieve me, be-lieve me, 

8  8-8   -8  -8  -8
5  5-4   -4  -4  -4
I can't tell you why

-8  -8    -8    7   7    7
-4  -4    -4    4   4    4
But I'm trapped by your love, 

 7   7    -8    8   -8   -6
 4   4    -4    5   -4   -3”
and I'm chained to your side

-8 -8   8   -8  7    9   8-8 7
-4 -4   5   -4  4    6   5-4 4

When I’m los-ing con-trol

 7    7   -7  -7 -7 -8
 4    4   -3  -3 -3 -4
Will you turn me a-way 

8    8   7   -8  -8  -8
5    5   4   -4  -4  -4
or touch me deep in-side?

-6   -6  -6   -6   -6   7
-3”  -3” -3”  -3”  -3”  4
And when all this gets old, 

 7   7   -7    -7  -7   -8
 4   4   -3    -3  -3   -4
will it still feel the same?

   8    8   8   -8   -8  -8
   5    5   5   -4   -4  -4
There's no way this will die

 8  8  8   8   8    8   8
 5  5  5   5   5    5   5
But if we get much clos-er, 

8  8 -8  -8  -8   -8
5  5 -4  -4  -4   -4
I could lose con-trol

-8  -8  -8    7    7   7   7
-4  -4  -4    4    4   4   4
And if your heart sur-ren-ders,

  7     -8  8  -8  -6
  4     -4  5  -4  -3”
you'll need me to hold
