Baby I've been drifting for so long 
C                        G 
I've had more than I can take on my own 
C                          F 
So I've been thinking about some things you said 
C                        G   
Wondering if it's time I laid my guard to rest 
Am                       C 
Cause you are just a man who wants to understand 
G                     D 
If I take a chance on you 

      F               C 
I may cry, Baby I may say I love you tonight 
      F                              G 
I may let you look inside and see forever's on my mind 
      F                            C     C/B     Am 
I may kiss you, I may hold you and never let you go 
           C              G                         F         C 
But if you promise not to tell I'll be sweet on the down low  
 
I have built these walls high and out of reach 
Cause I don't want my heart out for all to see 
When you look at me, you still see my strength 
You don't know yet just how easily I break 
But when the stone's unfurled, I am just a girl 
So go easily on me 
 
Chorus 
 
Solo 
 
Am 
But you are just a man 
C 
So I will understand 
G                        D 
If I fall, this one's on me 
 
Chorus 
 
If you promise not to tell I'll be sweet on the down low 
Oh oh oh I'll be sweet on the down low
