Is There Something

Key: GHard

G/B

GLately AmI see Dmclouds of sorrow Amin your Geyes.

GSome deep Amsadness Dmyou can never Amquite disGguise.

Now I'm Dmscared to Amask what it's Fleading Gto

but G/BI'm Ammore aFfraid of not asking Gyou.

Is there Csomething that you want to Ftell me, is there Gsomething that I ought to Emknow?

Are we Fsomething that's still worth fighting Cfor or should I Dmsimply let you Ggo? G7

Is there Csomething I can do to Freach you? Are we Gsomething more than histoEmry?

I'll find Fsome way to convince you to Cstay if you?ll just Dmtell me honestEmly.

FIs there something Gleft of you and Cme? F Am F

GYou've got Amsecrets Dmyou've been keeping Amfor too Glong

and GI'm going Amcrazy Dmacting like there's Amnothing Gwrong

I can Dmtaste the Amtruth every Ftime we Gkiss

and G/BI Amcan't go Fon, at least not like Gthis.

Is there Csomething that you want to Ftell me, is there Gsomething that I ought to Emknow?

Are we Fsomething that's still worth fighting Cfor or should I Dmsimply let you Ggo? G7

Is there Csomething I can do to Freach you? Are we Gsomething more than histoEmry?

I'll find Fsome way to convince you to Cstay if you?ll just Dmtell me honestEmly.

FIs there something Gleft of you and Cme? C

I Amdon't want to Flose you but Gwhat's the use of holding Emon

I Amdon't really Dmhave you Fif Gthe Amfee-G/Bling's Cgone.

FGEmFCDmFG

Is there Csomething I can do to Freach you are we Gsomething more than histoEmry?

If there's Fno way to convince you to Cstay and be the Dmway we used to Fbe. G

Then there's Csomething that I want to Ftell you and I Gwant you to believe it's Emtrue.

We had Fsomething that I'll never forCget, even Dmif I wanted Emto,

Cause Fpart of me will aGlways be with you

Is there Csomething I can do to Freach you are we Gsomething more than histoEmry?

If there's Fno way to convince you to Cstay and be the Dmway we used to Fbe. G

Then there's Csomething that I want to Ftell you and I Gwant you to believe it's tEmrue.

We had Fsomething that I'll never forCget, even Dmif I wanted Emto,

Cause Fpart of me will aGlways be with Cyou.
