-------------------------------------------------------
I close my eyes and I smile
Am7Am7 G+G
Knowing that everything is alright
G/EG/E
To the core
Cadd9Cadd9
So close that door
Am7Am7 Am7Am7
Is this happening?
G+G G/EG/E
My breathe is on your hair
Cadd9Cadd9
I'm unaware
Am7Am7
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
G+G G/EG/E
God, you held my hand
Cadd9Cadd9
And we stand
Am7Am7 Am7Am7
Just Taking in everything.
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And I knew it from the start
G+G
So my arms are open wide
Am7Am7
Your head is on my stomach
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
G+G
Here we are
Am7Am7
On this 18th floor balcony
Am7Am7 G+G G/EG/E Cadd9Cadd9 Am7Am7
We're both...flying away...
G+G G/EG/E
So we talked about mom's and dad's
Cadd9Cadd9
About family pasts
Am7Am7
Just getting to know where we came from
G+G G/EG/E
Our hearts were on display
Cadd9Cadd9
For all to see
Am7Am7
I can't believe this is happening to me and
G+G G/EG/E
I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours
Cadd9Cadd9
That I was so yours for the taking
Am7Am7
I'm so yours for the taking and
G+G G/EG/E
Thats when I felt the wind pick up
Cadd9Cadd9
I grabbed the rail while choking up
Am7Am7
These words to say and then you kissed me...(yeah)
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
I knew from the start
G+G
My arms are open wide
Am7Am7
Your head is on my stomach
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
G+G
Here we are
Am7Am7
On this 18th floor balcony
Am7Am7 G+G G/EG/E Cadd9Cadd9 Cadd9Cadd9
We're both...flying away...
Am7Am7 Cadd9Cadd9
And I'll try to sleep
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
to keep you in my dreams
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
'Till I can bring you home with me
Am7Am7 Cadd9Cadd9
I'll try to sleep
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
and when I do I'll keep you in my...dreams
(G+G G/EG/E Cadd9Cadd9 Am7Am7) x2
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
I knew it from the start
G+G
So my arms are open wide
Am7Am7
And your head is on my stomach
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
And we're, we're trying so hard not to fall asleep
G+G
So here we are
Am7Am7
On this 18th floor balcony...(yeah)
G+G Cadd9Cadd9
I knew it from the start
G+G
So my arms are open wide
Am7Am7
And your head is on my stomach
Am7Am7 G+G Cadd9Cadd9
No, we're not going to sleep
G+G
Here we are
Am7Am7
On this 18th floor balcony
Am7Am7 G+G G/EG/E Cadd9Cadd9 Am7Am7
We're both...flying away...
G+G G/EG/E Cadd9Cadd9 Am7Am7 Am7Am7 Am7Am7 G+G
