Chorus:
        Am
It's conditional
 C  G/B  Am
Not for free
There are strings attached
 C  G/B  Am
Tied to me
I'll want something back
 C  G/B  Am
If you agree
          F    C   Em
To be in love with me

D               C
Hold me hold me in your arms
Em               D   C
Hold me in your memory
D               C
Perfect perfect in your gaze
Em        G        C
Far as my eye can see

Chorus

Try to try to try to forget
To change the things about me
You can not accept
Any day that you have regret
Just let it recede

Chorus

Am
There are vows that must be made
There are terms that can't expire
F
There are words that must be said
And there are qualifiers
      D
I'll love you but I'll count the ways
The things that I admire
    G
And anyone who says they don't
You can call a liar

Chorus

Stay with me stay with me
Right or wrong
Pledge your loyalty
Have faith have faith
That we do belong
Together for eternity

Chorus
