Verse 1:
G     Am    F             Em
Long night, too long and lonely
F           G
Laying there asking myself
Am                                G
Hey, what's going on with you and me
Am            G        Am
  How could I be so unaware
     G                Am
So blind I could not see
G                 Am
Knowing you'd be there
G                  F  G
And always would be
               F        C  F
Is anyone to blame but me
                G                  F
I've been so concerned with myself
                C
Now I need you desperately
Am           G          Am
  If you've fallen for another
          G               Am
Let's be honest with each other
           G
Is there still a chance
     C                 G
And maybe hope to save our romance

Chorus:
Am              C    G
  We can't be strangers
Am              C      G
  You mean too much to me
Am                 C    G       Am   C  G
  I won't let this be a love in vain
Am                C    G
  Don't want the loneliness
Am          C   G
  Of just a memory
Am                C      G
  I don't want a love in vain


Instrumental:
|G |Am F | (2x)


Verse 2:
G            Am      F                      Em
 Just one more night, I want to spend with you
F               G                   Am
 We'll let our hearts do the talking
              G
Like we used to do
Am                G                  Am
  We'll make our first kiss last forever
         G             Am
Put the pieces back together
                  G
Because there's still a chance
       C                  G
There may be hope to save our romance


Chorus:
Am              C    G
  We can't be strangers
Am              C      G
  You mean too much to me
Am                 C    G       Am   C  G
  I won't let this be a love in vain
Am                C    G
  Don't want the loneliness
Am          C   G
  Of just a memory
Am                C      G
  I don't want a love in vain

Bridge:
Am                                   Am
  Oh, woman look what you've done to me
                             Am
I'll show you how this love should be
                           Am  G  F
Don't let it be a love in vain
Am           G            F  Am
Please don't, don't you know
            G            F
You got my heart on a string
          Am
Don't let go
                G         F       Am  G  F
Don't let this love be a love in vain


Chorus:
Am            C   G   Am
We can't be strangers
              C    G  Am
It's not our destiny
                  C    G       Am  C        G              Am
I won't let this be a love in vain,  don't want a love in vain
                C     G    Am
Don't want the loneliness
           C   G  Am
Of just a memory
                C    G       Am  C  G
Don't let this be a love in vain
