Verse

Gsus2 D/F#
Hold me tight don't say goodnight

Dm/F G A11
And I'll let you know that I care_______

Gsus2 D/F#
Wait a little longer don't let me be

Dm/F G A11
And I'll comfort you from the storm_____

Gsus2 D/F#
It's been a long night tomorrow's another day

Dm/F G
Call me when you find out the answer

A11 Gsus2
And I'll hope and I'll pray

D/F# Dm/F G A11
To a power that will keep me from goin' insane in the meantime

Cadd9 G5
Teenage lovers caught up in this dance

Cadd9 G5 Fmaj9
Pain's the price of this young romance

Cadd9 G5
How was I such a young fool to know

Cadd9 G5 Fmaj9
Lord knows I got no direction from home

So I say this prayer

(Chorus)

Gsus2 D/F# Dm/F
Take hold of me blessed powers that be

G5
Love keep us together

(Repeat Chords)

Down with the rain came the news
That our wild ways gonna bring us a baby boy
Wash away all those innocent dreams
Now my whole world is turned upside-down on me
And here I pray
To some power they say's gonna keep me from goin' insane

I can't be strong unless I'm by your side
My weakness tells me to run for the hills
Responsibility beckons me
To think I dreamed your kiss would set me free
Well I've never been so wrong

Chorus

(Spoken)

There cries a child so deep in the night
He needs a father somebody to set things right
I am the one to love to hold him tight
To discount by love a serious oversight
Higher power has brought us together I know
She will keep us together wherever we go
Even if I live a thousand miles away
My love is pure and strong and here to stay
