Those three words,
I said too much,
then not e nough.
If I lay here,
if I just (D)lay here,
would you lie (Csus2)with me and just for get the world?
For get what we’re told
be fore we get (D)too old.
Show me a (Csus2)gar den that’s burst ing in to life.
Let’s waste time
chas ing cars
a round our heads.
I need your grace
to re mind me
to find my own.
If I lay
All that I am,
all that I (D)ev er was
is here in your (Csus2)per fect eyes, they’re all I can see.
I don’t know where,
con fused a bout (D)how, as well.
Just know that these (Csus2)things will nev er change for us at all.
If I lay here,
if I just (D)lay here,
would you lie (Csus2)with me and just for get the world?
