And you proved my fan ta sies of love could real ly be.

Let’s (D)go to a place on ly lov ers go,

We’re (Em7)float ing a way, and, ooh, this feels so cra zy.

Oh, this love is blaz in’.

And ba by, we’re so high, walk in’ on cloud

So (Gmaj7)high,

Whoa.

May be lat er we can (Gmaj7)go up to the moon

or sail a mong the stars be (Em7)fore the night is through.

And when morn ing comes, we’ll see the (Gmaj7)sun is not so far.

And we can’t get much clos er to God than where we are.

We’ll (D)go to a place on ly lov ers go,

We’re (Em7)float ing a way, and, ooh, this feels so cra zy.

Oh, this love is blaz in’.

And ba by, we’re so high, walk in’ on cloud

Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
