The last posting had some mistakes, I know this one isn't
perfect either, but it's as close as I can get it........

This song is fairly easy to play,  it takes a little practice,
but it's worth it. This is a quiet song, guitars are clean, I
like a little overdrive (not much, just enough to notice) in
the solo.

Yesterday I lived for me,
and I was so alone as I could be.
           C#m             B2            A2
then I saw You and how You gave Yourself away.
  C#m              B2     A2    B2
I want to live for You, today.

-Chorus:
     E                 A2    B2
I'll give, I'll hold nothing
     E                 A2    B2
I'll give, I'll hold nothing
     C#m                B2         A2
I'll give and I'll hold nothing... back.
-Verse 2:
My love is a lot like me,
Wanting nothing less than everything.
But I know You're the only love that's true
(and) only giving makes me close to You.

--Repeat Chorus
--Insert Solo Here
-Bridge:
             C#m       B2            A2
My hands are open, so take what You see.
              C#m            B2              A2     B2
And I'll keep nothing, hold nothing back for me.

--Repeat Chorus 2x or to fade
