G                     Dsus4/F#        Cadd9             G          Em7
   Oh Florida please, be still tonight, don't disturb this love of mine 

                  D              Cadd9             G

   And count the stars to form in lines and find the words we'll sing in time

                D            Cadd9                     G
I want to keep her dreaming, it's my one wish, I won't forget this
[Pre-Chorus]

I'm outdated, over - rated

Morning seems so far away

So I'll sing a melody

  Cadd9 
And hope to God she's listening

Your lullaby for all the times

   If luck is on my side tonight, my clumsy tongue will make it right

                       D           Cadd9            G
And wrists that touch, it isn't much, but it's enough

   To form imaginary lines, forget your scars, we'll forget mine

                    D        Cadd9                     
The hours change so fast, oh God, please make this last
