It seems I've been waiting forever

Looking for you so long

Love in my life was a gamble

I've been playing my cards all wrong



Now I know there's another

Made it here before me

But he's not all you'd hoped for

Maybe you'd soon be free



I tried to show you my open heart

Show you what true love could be

While we talked of a brand new start

He kept you away from me



[Chorus]

Now am I never gonna get a chance

Am I never gonna have a prayer

Will I never see the moment I've held so tight

Of waking in the night and finding you there

Will I never get to show you the way I feel

And know that you feel it too

Am I never gonna get my chance with you



Mustn't talk of tomorrow

It'll be here too fast

You'll be holding another

I'll be holding onto the past



Not too old to be love sick

Not too young to be sure

I wanna feel this forever

Don't wanna find no cure



And I love everything you are

Everything you've ever been

What's inside when it died 

I knew I could bring it to life again, but



[Chorus]

Now am I never gonna get a chance

Am I never gonna have a prayer

Will I never see the moment I've held so tight

Of waking in the night and finding you there

Will I never get to show you the way I feel

And know that you feel it too

Am I never gonna get my chance

Get my chance

Get my chance…



I don't know how to make you stay

But I know we understand

What it means that we tremble

At the touch of each other's hand, but



[Chorus]

Am I never gonna get a chance

Am I never gonna have a prayer

Will I never see the moment I've held so tight

Of waking in the night and finding you there

Will I never get to show you the way I feel

And know that you feel it too

Am I never gonna get my chance…with you

No, no, no

No, no…
