[Verse 1]

C    Cmaj7    Em7
Turn down the lights, 
Em7           C
turn down the bed 
C               Bm7    Em        Am7
Turn down these voices inside my head   

C   Cmaj7     Em7
Lay down with me, 
Em7        C
tell me no lies 
C            Bm7    Em         Am7
Just hold me close, don't patronize
          Cadd9 D  Dsus D
Don't patronize me


[Chorus]
              C        G              C
Cause I can't make you love me if you don't      
          C         G          Bm7          C
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Em7         C        D           Em
Here in the dark, in these final hours
       Em7         C         D             Em
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
    Am7               D
But you won't, no you won't 
               Cadd9    G       
'Cause I can't make you love me,
C   Cmaj7
         if you don't

C    Cmaj7    Em7
I'll close my eyes, 
Em7          C
then I won't see
C                  Bm7       Em             Am7
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
C  Cmaj7     Em7      Em7            C
Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Here in the dark, in these final hours

I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
