VERSE 1:
G
It's hard for me to say the things 
D
I want to say sometimes 
G
There's no one here but you and me 
D
And that broken old street light 
Bm
Lock the doors 
G                        A-RUN-UP RIFF
We'll leave the world outside 
Bm               G
All I've got to give to you 
A
Are these five words tonight  

1st Chorus:
D                    G
Thank you for loving me 
A                 A-RUN-UP RIFF
For being my eyes 
D
When I couldn't see 
Bm/Bb
For parting my lips 
                        E
When I couldn't breathe 
D                    G   A-RUN-UP RIFF
Thank you for loving me 
D                    G   A-DOWN RIFF
Thank you for loving me  

VERSE 2: (same as Verse 1)
I never knew I had a dream 
Until that dream was you 
When I look into your eyes 
The sky's a different blue 
Cross my heart 
I wear no disguise 
If I tried, you'd make believe                                
That you believed my lies

For being my eyes 
D
When I couldn't see 
Bm/Bb
For parting my lips 
                        E
When I couldn't breathe 
D                    G   A-RUN-UP RIFF
Thank you for loving me 

BRIDGE:
G
You pick me up when I fall down 
A
You ring the bell before they count me out 
E                           Bm
If I was drowning you would part the sea 
G                          D     A
And risk your own life to rescue me

Play Intro Again
(Figure out the lead yourself..its almost the exact
same as the other lead intro lead!)

I watched Bon Jovi play this live at the Palace of
Auburn Hills near Detroit and this is how I saw them
play it...it got a huge response!

If anyone wants any other song tabbed by Bon Jovi..any
album..write and I'll see what I can do.
If there are any mistakes e-mail me or send the
correction in yourself.
I'm currently tabbing "The Next 100 years"
