And everything was made for you and me
Am         F             C                     E
All of it was made for you and me

And it just belongs to you and me

he sees the city sleeping at night
Am         F             C                    G
He sees the stars are out tonight
Am         F             C                    E
And all of it is yours and mine
Am         F             C                    G
And all of it is yours and mine
Am         F             C                    E
