And it's more than I hoped for

I'll take my chances

G            Am
I had second thoughts at the start

I said to myself

Hold on to your heart

You're wonderful so far
         G
And it's more than I hoped for

I have been a fool for lesser things

I want you so bad
G           C
I think you ought to know that
