Lyrics

We’ll do it all,

ev ’ry thing

on our own.

We don’t need

are an y thing

or an y one.

If I lay here,

if I just (E)lay here,

would you lie (D)with me and just for get the world?

I don’t quite know

how to say

how I feel.

Those three words

are said too much

they’re not e nough.

If I lay here,

if I just (E)lay here,

would you lie (D)with me and just for get the world?

For get what we’re (A)told

be fore we get (E)too old.

Show me a (D)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 (A)here,

if I just (E)lay here,

would you lie (D)with me and just for get the world?

For get what we’re told

be fore we get (E)too old.

Show me a (D)gar den that’s burst ing in to life.

All that I am,

all that I (E)ev er was

is here in your (D)per fect eyes, they’re all I can see.

I don’t know where,

con fused a bout (E)how as well,

just know that these (D)things will nev er change for us at all.

If I lay (A5)here,

if I just (E)lay here,

would you lie (D)with me and just for get the world?
