[Intro]
C G C Em C G Am D | 2x
[Verse 1]
C G
The part of love I'm scared of
C Em
Is the actual taking off
C G
I can take a bumpy landing
Am Em
But the start must be soft
Em Em Am
Soft, soft, soft
Em
It must be soft
C G C Em C G Am D
[Verse 2]
C G
Some men need your attention
C Em
Every minute, every hour
C G
Some women need the proof
Am D
In every chocolate, every flower
C G
Are you asking me down your runway?
C Em
I'm asking you to be watchtower
Em Em Em
Tower, tower, tower
Am
To be watchtower
Am Am Em
Tower, tower, tower
C G C Em C G Am D
[Verse 3]
C G
Some men just like the journey
C Em
Don't care if it's incomplete
C G
Some women like a long trip
Am D
Some women short 'n' sweet
C G
But if we lift each other up
C Em
Let's make it 10,000 feet
Em Em Em
Feet, feet, feet
Am
10,000 feet
Am Am Em
Feet, feet, feet
C G C Em C G Am D
[Verse 4]
C G
The reason I'm still down here
C Em
And I've never taken off
C G
'Cause I never had the courage
Am D
To rummage through love's loft
Em Em Em
Loft, loft, loft
Am
The highest loft
Am Am Em
Loft, loft, loft
C G C Em C G Am D
[Outro]
C G
'Cause when we're finally up there
C Em
And the engines have been stopped
C G
The landing won't be fatal
Am D
If love's parachute's been dropped
Am Am Em
Dropped, dropped, dropped
Am
Love's been dropped
Am Am Em
Dropped, dropped, dropped
