Verse 1:
D A Em G
There's a yearning in the way you place your hand upon my chest
D A Em G
And the secret that my heart beat cannot hide
D A Em G
Our love flows like a river, rushing far away from us
D A Em G
To somewhere that exists only inside our minds
Chorus:
D A Em G
Why fake it why fake anything?
D A Em G
I know what I want I want you
Verse 2:
D A Em G
I've been thinking of the foolish ways that we learn to hurt ourselves
D A Em G
And how we teach them to each other through the pain behind our eyes
D A Em G
And I'd ask God to forgive us but God cannot forgive itself
D A Em G
A forest burns around the church I am praying inside
Chorus:
D A Em G
Why fake it why fake anything?
D A Em G
I know what I want I want you
Verse 3:
D A Em G
And at last the river flows around the world returns to us
D A
Your hand still on my heartbeat
Em G
My tears are in your eyes
D A Em G
If we could only stay like this for one thousand eternities
D A Em G
If we could only have a moment of each other's time
Chorus:
D A Em G
Why fake it why fake anything?
D A Em G
I know what I want I want you
D A Em D
I know what I want
D A Em D
I know what I want
