(Verse)
E|-------------------------3-5----------------------------|
B|-3/5-5---3/5-5---3/5-5-1--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
My heart, your heart sit tight like book ends.
E|-------------------------3-5----------------------------|
B|-3/5-5---3/5-5---3/5-5-1--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Pages between us written with no end.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-3-5-3---1----------------------------------------|
G|-------------2------------------------------------------|
So many words we're not saying
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-5-3-1-1------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Don't wanna wait till it's gone.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-5-3-1-1------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
You make me strong.
(Chorus)
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-5-3-1-1------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
I'm sorry if I say I need you.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-5-3-1-1------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
But I don't care. I'm not scared of love.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-5-3-1-1------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong? That you make me strong.
(Verse)
E|------------------------3-5-----------------------------|
B|-3/5-5--3/5-5---3/5-5--1--------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Think of how much love that's been wasted.
E|-------------------------3-5----------------------------|
B|-3/5-5---3/5-5---3/5-5--1-------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
People always trying to escape it.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-3-3-3-3-5-3---1-----------------------------------------|
G|-------------2------------------------------------------|
Move on to stop their heart breaking.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|-1-3-3-3-5-3-1-1-----------------------5-3-1-1----------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
But there's nothing I'm running from. You make me strong.
Repeat the chorus till the lyrics "Is it so wrong?". Then,
E|------3-5-3----3----------------------------------------|
B|-3-5-------5-5--5---------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
So baby hold on to my heart.
E|----3-5-3-5---3-----------------------------------------|
B|-3-5-------5-5--5---------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Need you to keep me from falling apart.
E|----3-5-3-----------------------------------------------|
B|-3-5-----5--3-5-3-1-1-----------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
I'll always hold on 'cause you make me strong.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
I'm sorry if I say I need you.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
But I don't care I'm not scared of love.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
'Cause when I'm not with you I'm weaker.
E|--------------------------------------------------------|
B|--------------------------------------------------------|
G|--------------------------------------------------------|
Is that so wrong? Is it so wrong?
Then repeat the whole chorus once again and we are done!
