  B               E                      B/F#  F#  B/F#  F#
       You always say you like my style;

  B                E                     F#
       You say I'm tough and kind of wild.

  B             E                       B/F#  F#  B/F#  F#
       Am I too much for you to tame?

  B                 E  
       I swear this time 

             A      F#
  It's not a game.


       E                    F#
  I've known a lot of girls;

      E                   F#
  No, this I won't deny.

       E
  I'll give our love,

                           F#
  I'll give it more than a try.


  B                   F#  G#m
       That was then

              E
  This is now.

  B           F#m
       Let me prove my love, girl;

  G#m                E
       I'll make you proud.


  B                 F#   G#m
       I never made

               E
  This kind of vow.

  B                    F#            E      F#
       But that was then and this is now.


  B               E                        B/F#  F#  B/F#  F#
       I've led a thousand lives, it seems;

  B                   E                F#
       There's been a lot of broken dreams.

  B                E                     B/F#  F#  B/F#  F#
       My mind, it just swept love aside.

  B                E
  But you broke me down, 

                A      F#
  You've put me wise.


    E                 F#
  I doubted all compassion,

      E                    F#
  But you showed me the score.

    E
  I can't doubt it,

                      F#
  I don't doubt it no more



  B                   F#  G#m
       That was then

              E
  This is now.

  B           F#m
       Let me prove my love, girl;

  G#m                E
       I'll make you proud.


  B                 F#   G#m
       I never made

               E
  This kind of vow.

  B                    F#            E      F#
       But that was then and this is now.

  B                 F#   G#m

               E
  This kind of vow.

  B                    F#            E      E/B
       But that was then and this is now.

  B                   F#             A      B
       But that was then and this is now.
