Intro:

| E      | Esus4   | x2


Verse 1:
    E                                   Esus4
She wakes up early in the mornin' to an empty bed
    E                                        Esus4
And he's downstairs makin' coffee, thinkin' 'bout what she said
   E                                        Esus4
He walks upstairs with anticipation and his hopes in place
   E                                                Esus4
He says good mornin', would you marry me, and put a smile on my face?


Pre-chorus:
             Dsus2              Dmaj7sus2
She wants to let it be, but she thinks that he
             E
won't stick around, like many times before
                  Dsus2      Dmaj7sus2
She just wants to let it go, even though
              A
She still has her doubts

She takes his hand and she says, babe


Chorus:
          E                             A
I'm gonna try, try, try, try to let you into my life
          E                                        A
I'm gonna try, try, try to believe I could be your beautiful wife
Badd11                    C#m7
       Oh babe, I've been hurt before
Badd11                            Aadd9
       I've gotta learn to love again


Post-chorus:
                  E         A
Won't you show me how?   Oh yeah
                      E              A
Oh, won't you show me how? (Show me how)


Verse 2:
    E                                Esus4
She looks into the mirror and thinks maybe it's just me
E                               Esus4
Looks into the past and wonders why things just don't last
    E                                        Esus4
Now he just wants to be her man and make her world feel right
      E                                Esus4
Well, he just wants to give her everything and hold her tight


Pre-chorus:
             Dsus2               Dmaj7sus2
She wants to let it be, but it's hard to see
                E
through all the bad times, when she gave it all for nothing
                  Dsus2              Dmaj7sus2
She just wants to let it go, but she needs to know
A
That she's good enough

and she looks into his eyes, and she says


Chorus:
     E                             A
I'll try, try, try, try to let you into my life
          E                                        A
I'm gonna try, try, try to believe I could be your beautiful wife
Badd11                    C#m7
       Oh baby, I've been hurt before
Badd11                            Aadd9
       I've gotta learn to love again


Post-chorus:
                  E         A
Won't you show me how?   Oh yeah
                  E              A
Won't you show me how? (Show me how)


Bridge:
      C#m7                                                    Aadd9
She remembers all the fights, all the pain, and there's still stains on the floor
    Badd11                           Aadd9
She wants to face her fears, and try not to slam that door
