C5 X355XXX   D5    X577XXX   Dm* X57765

C   CaddD    D    Dm    C    CaddD

I couldn't take a chance on love
CaddG
If I was afraid 
  F                 Fm
I couldn't face the day
CaddG
Can't you see it in my eyes
         F              Fm
That I'm not afraid I'm terrified
CaddG            G              CaddG
I wouldn't be dismayed if I was afraid


CaddG
If I was afraid 
    F                  Fm
The world would be too challenging
CaddG
If I was afraid 
    F             Fm
I'd collapse into tears
         CaddG
Oh I can see it in my dream
         F          Fm
That I'm not alone, alone with you
CaddG              G            CaddG
I wouldn't be that way if I was afraid

Repeat everything below five times (to fade):

C5
You walk out of the car

Well here's what you do
             D5
You take the fifteenth box

Do a circuit of the avenue
   Dm*                                       C5
Go off down town and I'll be waiting for you

C5
Walk out of the bridges

With some hippy chicks
             D5
And take the fifteenth alleyway

And then hit the bricks
      Dm*
Go on round the back
                           C5
And then I'm here with you
