Introdução: Bb F Cm F   
 
Bb                F     
You tell me you're in love with me.  
 Cm                      
Like you can't take your  
      F 
Pretty eyes away from me 
Bb                  F       
It's not that I don't wanna stay  
Cm              F 
But every time I come to close I run away 
Cm         F                   Bb  
I wanna believe in everything that you say 
                      Cm   Bb  
Cuz it sounds so good 
  Cm 
But if you really wanted me 
Bb                Cm

Sometimes I hide.  
   Cm 
Sometimes I'm scared of you

But all I really want is to hold you  
Bb     F                            
Tight and treat you right  
           Cm                              
Be with you day and night 
F 
Baby all I need is time 
Bb          F         
I don't wanna be so shy,  
Cm             F  
Every time that I'm alone I wonder why 
Bb                   F       
Hope that you will wait for me

Baby all I need is time  
Cm              
I'll just hang around and you'll see 
      D   Gm 
There's no where I'd rather be
