Terrified
Katharine McPhee
 F               A#      Dm             C 
  If you were falling, then I would catch you
 F              A#    Dm            C 
  You need a light, I' d find a match

       A#  C         F                 Dm 
Cause I  love the way you say good morning
     A#    C#           C      F 
And you, take me the way I am

 F              A#     Dm             C 
  If you are chilly, here take my sweater
 F               A#      Dm             C 
  Your head is aching, I' ll make it better

       A#  C         F                Dm 
Cause I  love the way you call me baby
     A#    C#                F 
And you, take me the way I am

 F               A#      Dm               C                 F 
  I' d buy you Rogaine, when you start losing all your hair
        A#       Dm           C 
Sew on patches, to all you tear

       A#  C                   F               Dm 
Cause I  love you more than I could ever promise
     A#    C#                Dm   C6 
And you, take me the way I am
 A#   C#                Dm   G7 
You take me the way I am
 A#   C#7          C7     F 
You take me the way I am
