[Verse 1] G I met you in the dark F#/D You lit me up Em7 You made me feel as though C I was enough G We danced the night away F#/D We drank too much Em7 I held your hair back when C You were throwing up
[Pre-Chorus] G Then you smiled over your shoulder F#/D For a minute, I was stone cold sober Em7C I pulled you closer to my chest G And you asked me to stay over F#/D I said, I already told ya Em7C I think that you should get some rest
[Chorus] G I knew I loved you then F#/D But you'd never know Em7 Cause I played it cool when I was C Scared of letting go G I know I needed you F#/D But I never showed Em7 But I wanna stay with you C Until we're grey and old GF#/D Just say you won't let go Em7C Just say you won't let go
[Verse 2] G I wake you up with some F#/D Breakfast in bed Em7 I'll bring you coffee C With a kiss on your head G And I'll take the kids to school F#/D Wave them goodbye Em7 And I'll thank my lucky stars for C That night
[Pre-Chorus] G When you looked over your shoulder F#/D For a minute, I forget that I'm older Em7C I wanna dance with you right now, oh G And you look as beautiful as ever F#/D And I swear that everyday you'll get better Em7C You make me feel this way somehow
[Chorus] G I'm so in love with you F#/D And I hope you know Em7 Darling your love is more than worth its C Weight in gold G We've come so far my dear F#/D Look how we've grown Em7 And I wanna stay with you C Until we're grey and old GF#/D Just say you won't let go Em7C Just say you won't let go
[Verse 3] G I wanna live with you F#/D Even when we're ghosts Em7 Cause you were always there for me C When I needed you most
[Chorus] G I'm gonna love you till F#/D My lungs give out Em7 I promise till death we part C Like in our vows G So I wrote this song for you F#/D Now everybody knows Em7 Cause it's just you and me C Until we're grey and old
