G
I close my eyes and I smile 

             Am7               G
Knowing that everything is alright 

        G/E
To the core 

             Cadd9
So close that door 

          Am7         Am7 
Is this happening? 
[Verse 2] (0:27 - 0:49)
     G                G/E
My breathe is on your hair 

     Cadd9
I'm unaware 

                      Am7
That you opened the blinds and let the city in 

 G                G/E
God, you held my hand 

       Cadd9
And we stand 

                    Am7        Am7
Just Taking in everything.

And I knew it from the start

So my arms are open wide

Your head is on my stomach

[Verse 3] (1:21 - 1:42)
       G                      G/E
So we talked about mom's and dad's 

              Cadd9
About family pasts 

                Am7
Just getting to know where we came from 

      G               G/E
Our hearts were on display 

           Cadd9
For all to see 

                           Am7
I can't believe this is happening to me and
[Verse 4] (1:43 - 2:02)
   G                       G/E           
I raised my hand as if to show you that I was yours 

          Cadd9
That I was so yours for the taking 

    Am7
I'm so yours for the taking and 

G                              G/E
Thats when I felt the wind pick up 

                               Cadd9
I grabbed the rail while choking up 

                                 Am7
These words to say and then you kissed me...(yeah)
[Chorus] (2:03 - 2:33)
