No Capo :)
Am
When I was young
F
I read stories where princes won
C
As I grew up
G
I thought the stories were wrong
Am
But to you girl, I am faithful
F
I'm falling so hard that it's painful
C G
When it hurts I know the feelings are real
Am
I let nothing in the middle
Nothing in the middle
F
Of me and you, of me and you
C G
Nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
Am
I love the way we fight and stay up all night
F
And the way you look in the morning light
C G
I'll let nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
Am
I don't know
F
How the story of us unfolds
C
Or if when we're old
G
We'll still be together at all
Am
But to you girl, I am faithful
F
I'm falling so hard that it's painful
C G
When it hurts I know the feelings are real
Am
I let nothing in the middle
Nothing in the middle
F
Of me and you, of me and you
C G
Nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
Am
I love the way we fight and stay up all night
F
And the way you look in the morning light
C G
I'll let nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
F
When I feel you breathe
Am G
In my arms at night
F
When I feel you breathe
Am G
As I hold you tight
F Am G
I believe we are meant to be
F G
Meant to be, we are meant to be
Am
When I was young
F
I read stories where princes won
C
As I grew up
G
I thought the stories were wrong
Am
I let nothing in the middle
Nothing in the middle
F
Of me and you, of me and you
C G
Nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
Am
I love the way we fight and stay up all night
F
And the way you look in the morning light
C G
I'll let nothing in the middle, in the middle of us
