[Intro]  D G A D   D G A D  (X2)


D            G         A             D
We ordered up one more bottle of wine
                 G           A                 D
You told me your story and I thought about mine
                  G            A                D
You said when you lost her you lost everything
               G          A         D
It all started having a familiar ring




[Repeat ? of Intro] D G A D  D G A D



D                 G        A             D
So I asked you to take me some place quiet
                   G             A                D
We wound up at the river for the rest of the night
D         G          A           D
Somewhere around the break of day
D               G            A         D
I could hear it coming from a mile away






[CHORUS]
D                Em
So don't say that word
        D           G    D  A
Not the one we both heard too much
D                 G          Em
You may think you do but you don't
               A
It's just the fear of being alone




[Repeat ? of Intro] D G A D  D G A D



D        G          A     D
Reckless hearts can clear a path
D            G           A      D
Wider than a hurricane's aftermath
D          G        A        D
We've both traveled down that road
D                    G   A               D
Where in the name of love everything goes



[CHORUS]
D                G
So don't say that word
        D           G    D  A
Not the one we both heard too much
D                 G          Em
You may think you do but you don't
               A
It's just the fear of being alone






D          G       D
Like a child in the night
     D         G
With no one to hold you
             Em                A
And tell you everthing's gonna be all right
D       G    A        D
I must admit it's been fun
D             G         A        D
But that's no reason to jump the gun
           G   A      D
If this is real time will tell
D [stop]
So let me bite my tongue and remind myself



[CHORUS]
D                G
So don't say that word
        D           G    D  A
Not the one we both heard too much
D                 G          Em
You may think you do but you don't
               A
It's just the fear of being alone
