As Long As You Hold Me

[Intro] D  Em  G
        D  Em  G  Em  A

A              D                 Em G A
As long as you hold me I'll get by
               D        Em      G            A
As long as you need me I will try    not to die

                  G
I don't want the shame
                  Em
I don't want the blame
                  G      A
I don't want the fame anymore

                D                Em G A
If only they'd tell me, tell me why
              D              Em    G A
If I could believe them and their lies

                        G
But I don't want their name
                    Em
I don't want their pain
                   G         A
I won't play their games anymore


Em        Bm  Em                          Bm       G
I always look      at the last page of the book
             A     F#m
How will it end?
                  G                  Em  A
The suspense robs me of lovers and friends

                  G
I don't want the shame
                  Em
I don't want the blame
                  G      A
I don't want the fame anymore
        ( D  Em  G  Em )    D
