[D]
[F#m] [D]
I sparkle, [F#m] [G] loving the way [F#] that I do.
[Bm] It is true, I [E] feel [G] so good just having [Em]
[F#m] you.
Breathlessly and [Em] eager, submission isn't [F#] easy [Bm] for me.
We were so in [D] one, we, [G] I'd always known it could be.
[A] [E] [D] Don't wanna do nothing, stand against your will.
[F#m] No [G] [D] secrets, [Em] you have to know just how I [D] feel.
[A] It's your [G] sake you're [D] gonna fall, or you'll have to lose all.
[G] I give [D] myself, [Em] and I give [A]
[F#m] myself to you.
[D] [F#m] [D] Sancho, [F#m] Tingo, Sparkle, [Em] I hope the love [F#] never breaks [Bm] away.
Leave a little fire in [G] every day, save all [Em] the warmth for [F#m] you.
Just want you to know, when the day is at show, understand there will be no other [Em] man [G] but you, baby.
[A#] [Bm] You can believe, [E] this love [G] in you, as I believe in you.
[D]
[G] [D] [Em] Hope you're gonna [G] go, [A] you saved the big thing, [D] and you're worth it, that's for me, baby.

And if you think you're gonna fall, or you'll have to lose all.
[D] [G] It's time for you, to let [D] go, and I'm really on your mind.
Everybody [G] needs some [D] time, [Em] to get [D] good and time, to sleep and eat and grow.
[D] You're not surrounded, baby, you're surrounded, [F#m] by a [G] river, [G] [D]
and a lake.
You always dream the same, you're worth it, that's [G] [D] [Em] [G] for me, baby.
I'm telling you,
[Bm] [D]
[G] [D] [Em] [G] [D]
yeah, yeah.
