Capo on 2nd
[Verse]
G D Em
I cant fight this feeling any longer
C G D
And yet Im still afraid to let it flow

What started out as friendship, has grown stronger
Am7 C D
I only wish I had the strength to let it show
G D Em
I tell myself that I cant hold out forever
C G D
I said there is no reason for my fear
G D E
Cause I feel so secure when were together
Am7 G
You give my life direction
C D
You make everything so clear

Youre a candle in the window

On a cold, dark winters night
C Em D
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
[Chorus]
C G Am7 C
And I cant fight this feeling anymore
G Am7 C
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
G Am7 C
Its time to bring this ship into the shore
C D
And throw away the oars, forever
C G Am7 C
Cause I cant fight this feeling anymore
G Am7 C
Ive forgotten what I started fighting for
G Am7
And if I have to crawl upon the floor

G D Em
My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you

Youre a candle in the window on a cold, dark winters night
And Im getting closer than I ever thought I might
[Chorus]
