Intro Bm
verse 1
Bm
Dreamed last night
G
That you were sitting in my car
F#m
Your head was laying on my chest
G
You looked up and then you said
Bm
I think I love you, kid
G
Me, I didn't know what to say
F#m G A
So I sat and said nothing at all. Nothing at all.
verse 2
G Bm
Please stay with me tonight
G
And I held you close
A
The light came from the water
G A
Reflecting in your eye 'til you did shine
G
And you were mine
verse 3
Bm G F#m G
But then I wake up and I can't forget your face
Bm G
I stay frozen for a second
F#m G
And my head begins to race
Bm G
Cause everyday gets harder
F#m G
But I'm through feeling like shit
Bm G
Come on baby, hold on tight
F#m G
I'm gonna love you until the morning light
Bridge
G F#m
Outside the front door
Em
But it's never been this cold
F#m
Look to the sky, curse everything
G F#m Em
And maybe if those kids didn't find out what I did
F#m
They won't know anything
Outro
G F#m
I felt her hair and kissed her face
Em
For fleeting moments I felt grace
F#m
And in an instant, it had passed
G F#m
Whole conversations without words
Em
Everyone else thought it absurd
F#m
We'd sit and say nothing at all
G
I was happy with you and that's all
