Verse 1
C G F C G F
I used to push you away, Push and push every day
Am F Am F
It was the air that I breathed, too scared to have you see
G Dm F C
How much, just how much you meant, to me.
Verse 2
C G F C G F
It used to be when you’d pull It’d be intolerable
Am F Am F
And I’d push to keep some space, Trying to feel safe
G Dm F C
It was the dance, yeah the dance, of our love
Chorus
Am F Am F G
But if I keep pushing you, Like I pushed the other few I’ll end up old and alone
Am F Am F G
And if you keep pulling me So hard, the door’s all I can see I’ll end up old and alone
Dm G Am F G
Better to open up my heart, Let you in and make another start, so I don’t end up old and alone
Dm G Am F G
Cause to truly love you my dear I’ll pull you close and stay right here Sublimate my fear into love
Dm F G C
Cause anything else, would be a crime, Against our love
Verse 3
And once I stopped with the push, You stopped with the pull. And now we’re right where we are, Connected by the heart. I want to be, your forever, sweetheart
Chorus 2
I’m done pushing you, like I pushed the other few, let’s grow old you’re my home
And if you stop pulling me, I’ll shut the door and never leave. Let’s grow old, I’m your home
It’s better living with an open heart, we can always make another start, let’s grow old, you’re my home
Cause to truly love you my dear I’ll pull you close and stay right here Sublimate my fear into love
Cause anything else, would be a crime, Against our love
Final Verse
I’ll show you all of me, sweet parts only you have seen. Give you the keys to my heart, tell you what I need. Love and build, from now till we’re 150
