Capo 1st Fret
VERSE
(G) When we're this close I can almost
Hear your (Em7) heart beat
As you (Am7) softly breathe lyin' (D) here with me
(G) Your skin's like a canvas
Being painted by the (Em7) moonbeams
Truly a (Am7) masterpiece
To you it comes (D) naturally
[Refrão] I couldn't (G) dream a love better than this
Could (G/F#) never im(Em7)agine such a kiss
Or the (F) way your body (C/B) feels in my (C) arms (D)
Old Mister (G) Sandman I'll resist
'Cause if I (G/F#) were to (Em7) sleep look at all I'd (C) miss
I couldn't (Am7) dream (D) a love better than (G) this
VERSE
(G) It's getting late
But I don't want to (Em7) close my eyes
I don't care a(Am7)bout the time
Or the (D) world outside
(G) We're movin' to the music playin' (Em7) in our minds
The (Am7) mood's just right for staying (D) up all night
CHORUS
I couldn't (G) dream a love better than this
Could (G/F#) never im(Em7)agine such a kiss
Or the (F) way your body (C/B) feels in my (C) arms (D)
Old Mister (G) Sandman I'll resist
'Cause if I (G/F#) were to (Em7) sleep look at all I'd (C) miss
I couldn't (Am7) dream (D) a love better than (C) this
BRIDGE
(F) I've had my (C) fantasies
(Bb) But none compare to re(D)ality
CHORUS
I couldn't (A) dream a love better than this
Could (A/G#) never im(F#m7)agine such a kiss
Or the (G) way your body (D/C#) feels in my (D) arms (E)
Old Mister (A) Sandman I'll resist
'Cause if I (A/G#) were to (F#m7) sleep look at all I'd (D) miss
I couldn't (Bm7) dream (E) a love better than (D) this
