Don't say it's over

could hear I swear that I will 
      Am
Do my best to be here 
F                C
just the way you like it
    Am                  F
Even though its hard to hide

Push my feelings all aside
       C             F

change for you

A homerun hit, a winning stand
        C             F
A gaurantee and not a promise
