    D ~   D - G - D

 

       G                 D                                Em                                   A

1. Was getting deeper into the night, knew you weren't coming home,

      D                                                   Em                                A

    nothing I was doing was right, and now I've got to face it alone.

                                  D       - G                  D                 - A

    The night getting darker,       baby the darker it got,

                              D                     - G

    struggled with why and what.

               D

    But I could not fight what I knew was true.

                                                         A

    I was not gonna get through the night

     - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    D    - Em                 D     - A

    without the power of two,            me and you.

 

       D                                             Em                                          A

2. Feeling like I'm out on a ledge, standing with my back to the wall.

     D                                                 Em                                    A

    used to be I'd go straight ahead, now I'm going nowhere at all.

                               D         - G                   D                     - A

    the night getting longer,         Baby the longer it went,

                       D                       - G

    just didn't make any sense.

                   D

   Couldn't see, couldn't hear, didn't know what to do,

                                               A

    was like I had no power at all

     - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    D    - Em                 D     - A

    without the power of two             me and you.

 

G

    I never knew before that two was more

                                     D

    than one and one until that night.

G

    Was nothing I could do but think of how I'm losing you, and

A                                              - A7

    it shook me, it shocked me,            you locked me out there.

 

       D                                               Em                                  A

3. Looking for a place I could hide, searching for a corner to turn,

    D                                                  Em                                            A

   left me here alone for one night, showed me I had something to learn.

                           D           - G                               D           - A

    I tried not to need you,       but I needed you anyway,

                          D                  - G

    Wouldn't be easy to say.

                   D

    But the way that I see it, I'm half without you,

                                                           A

    and I'm not gonna make myself whole

     - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    D    - Em                D     - A

    without the power of two,           me and you.

 

G                                                                                          D

    Morning couldn't wait, I knew that it was getting late, but I hung on.

G

    I had no choice at all, was either walk away or crawl, and

A                                            - A7

    I'm pleading, I'm bleeding,          I think I'm falling.

 

       D                                Em                                         A

4. Deeper into that hole, deeper than I thought I could get.

    D                                               Em                                     A

   like a bug that's stuck in a bowl climbing out's impossible, yet,

                               D        - G                               D                       - A

    he keeps trying harder,         harder than he thought he could,

                  D                 - G

    I finally understood.

                  D

    I could hear, I could see, and the truth came through.

                                                       A

    we had ten times the power of one,

     - - - - - - - - - - - - - -    D    - Em                 D     - A

    we had the power of two,           me and you,

                                            D   - Em                     D     - A

    was nothing we couldn't do,         just me and you.

                                       D      - G - A - D

    we had the power of two.
