[A] I close my eyes and I smile
Knowing [Bm] that everything is [A] alright to [F#m] the core
So close [D] that [E] door, is [B] this [Bm] happening?
[A] My breath is on [F#m] your hair
I'm [D] unaware [G] that you open [Bm] the blinds
And let the city [F#m] in, [A] God
You held [F#m] my hand and [D] we stand
[G] Just [A] taking [Bm] in everything
And [F#m] [D] I knew it from the start
[A] So my arms are open wide
[Bm] Your head is on my stomach
And we're, we're trying [D] so hard not to fall asleep
[A] Here we are, [Bm] on this 18th floor balcony
We're both [A] flying away
[Bm] So [A] we talk about mom and dad
About [D] family pasts
Just [F#m] getting [Bm] to know where we came [A] from
Our hearts were on display
For all [D] to see
I can't believe this [Bm] is happening to [A] me
And I raise my hand to [F#m] show you that I was yours
That [D] I was so yours for the taking
[Bm] I'm so yours for the [A] taking
And that's when I felt the wind pick up
I grabbed the rail while [D] choking up
These words to say [Bm] and then you kissed me
[D] I knew it from the start
[A] My arms are open wide
[Bm] Your head is on my stomach
And we're, we're trying so [D] hard not to fall asleep
