Just give me the strength, and I will help you

It's written in the book

It's hotter than I've known before,
but I feel so cold, and I don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, you could make it right

Ooh the time has come now
We must show our feelings
But I'm looking right through you
And your heart is empty
Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now
There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Please, oh please you let me down!

C         G7sus4         F/C          C
but wait a minute, I don't understand

G/A                                           Am
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand

Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go
But I'm losing all control

C       D/C                    C         D/C   C D/C C
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away

Bm           Bm/A                Bm/G                                E/F#
I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here, oh lord

It's written in the book

Oh so many times since I've read those words
Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
Tell me can you see me?
