C G C
I remember when you hid inside
F C G
My suitcase the night before my flight

When your laugh gave you away

You cried for me to stay
C G C
I will comfort you no matter where you hide
C G C
Are you scared of falling down a well?
F C G
It's not strange to have a fear you'd never tell
F G
Just remember to be brave
C C/B Am
And in the moment you're afraid
C G C
It's that fear that lets you know that you're alive
F G C Am
Before you close your eyes to sleep
F G C Am
You should know I plan to keep
Dm C Am F
Every little part of you gets the best of me
Dm C F G C C/B F C G/B F F G
Please slow down, time wait up for me

Tell me what it's like to be in love

Is he more or less the boy you thought he was

Well, let me tell you this

Before you lean in for the kiss

He'll be lucky if he gets to know your mind

Every little part of you gets the best of me

When you're old like me, you'll be surprised

And when we are apart
C G C
Let our love go with you as you fly
