Oh, why look so sad
                  G
Tears are in your eyes
                    D/A A A/C#
Come on and come to me  now

When the night falls on you

Nothing you confess

Could make me love you less

Come on and talk to me  now
    C    Am              Em
And hey, what you got to hide

I get angry too
           Am       G
Well I'm a lot like you

[Bridge]
            Em              Am
When you're standing at the crossroads
      Em                 Am
Don't know which path to choose

Let me come along

Cause even if you're wrong
