Verse 1:

I've been awake for a while now
you've got me feelin like a child now
cause every time i see your bubbly face
i get the tinglies in a silly place

Same chords in the chorus:
*She arpeggios the intro chords, (and also includes the 5th fret
on the High E MajorE with all chords. This is the bracket in the intro)
*or lightly strum these chords

Chorus:
        A augmentedA
It starts in my toes
          Amaj7Amaj7
and I crinkle my nose
        A augmentedA
where ever it goes i always know
           A augmentedA
that you make me smile
         Amaj7Amaj7
please stay for a while now
        D MajorD
just take your time
        A augmentedA
where ever you go


 Go back to the intro tab for this verse (but give it a bounce.)
Verse 2:

The rain is fallin on my window pane
but we are hidin in a safer place
under the covers stayin safe and warm
