  C                F
   I did my best to make you see

   Just how special we could really be
  Em                            Am
   All I know is this love I feel for you
                Dm              G
   I've got to hold on, I'm holdin' on
  C                    F
   What must it take till you could give
  Am                  G                F
   More than just the part of what you leave
  Em           Em/Ab       
   Don't you set away from a love
          Am
   That's true to you

   Always been true to you
