A
It's been a hard week, a hard year
D/A               A              D/A
And our love's been tested on every side
  A                                           A  D/A
Between the homework and holidays and me on the road
              A D/A
Been missing you and me time
F#m
I've gotta let you know I'm not okay
D
Barely seeing you from day to day
A              E/G#       D
Like ships pass in the night


[Chorus]

A                          E
So, baby, how 'bout we go right now
    Bm     D
Put the kids down
        A                E
Put on our song, light some candles
     Bm        D
Turn the lights out
           A               E/G#
Leave the dishes, leave the mess
D      F#m            E             Bm
Let me hold you in the stillness tonight
                 A
Let's keep the fire alive


[Verse 2]
A
You promised you'd take care of me
D/A               A              D/A
and cherish me That's what you do
 A                                           A  D/A
you I wanna know just how I feel
A             D/A
What makes me laugh or sends me cryin' to ma room
F#m
My daddy said, girl every man's
D
Gotta stoke that fire all he can
A              E/G#       D
And never let the flame die


[Bridge]

Bm F#m
The wind's gonna come and try to blow It out
Bm F#m
The rain's gonna fall and try to press it down
Bm F#m
The world's gonna tell us it can't be done
E                        D                          E
But baby, if we try, I believe there's still better to come
