CFGCFG Just want something beautiful, I want to look in your eyes CFAmGCFG I want to listen to you sing my favorite song and cry CFGCFG Want to reach into your oceans, want to calm your sea when it storms CFAmGCFG I want to let you take hold of this sinking ship and lead me home
FGC But I'm not what you need FGC I've known you so much stronger FGCBAm But you are such a pleasant fiction to me FCFG So I guess that I'll dream of you a little longer
CFG
I want to pack up and move with you, oh and never look behind
I want to take your hand as we chase down the skyline
I want to tell you my stories, wake you up in the middle of the night
I want you to tell me when I'm wrong, and I just want you to smile at me when I'm right
(chorus)
AmBCFG Don't want to take the light from your eyes CFG It would be nice if I could hold you tight CFG While I lay in the sand CFAmG You could love what's left of this lonely excuse of a man
