Verse 1:
F         Cm7           Bb
Once in a lifetime it’s just right
Bb
We made no mistakes
F          Cm7          Bb
Not even a landslide or riptide
Bb
Could take it all away


Pre-Chorus:
F          Cm7                    Bb
Somehow it feels like nothing has changed
             Bb
Right now my heart is beating the same
F        Cm7                  Bb
Out loud someone’s calling my name
Bb             C
It sounds like you

Chorus:
C               Gm     F
When I close my eyes
C               Gm     F
All the stars align
C               Gm     F
And you are by my side
C             Cm7    Bb
You are by my side


Verse 2:
F          Cm7          Bb
Once in a lifetime it's just right

That we are always safe
F            Cm7             Bb
Not even the bad guys in the dark night
Bb
Could take it all away


Pre-Chorus:
F          Cm7                    Bb
Somehow it feels like nothing has changed
Bb
Right now my heart is beating the same
F        Cm7                  Bb
Out loud someone’s calling my name
Bb                 C
And it sounds like you


Chorus:
C               Gm     F
When I close my eyes
C             Gm     F
All the stars align

And you are by my side
C             Cm7     Bb     F
You are by my side
C             Cm7     Bb     F
You are by my side

You are by my side
