[Bridge]

Bb
I can be nothing,

Or I can be something,
                        G
I've got to give you my life.
C
I'm tired of living

Without your giving.
                           Bb   G
I've got to get you for my wife.

Can't hold on much longer.

Feeling's getting stronger.

I never begged,

But I'm begging now.
