[Verse 1]
D Bm G
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep
A C D
This air is blessed, you share with me
D Bm G
This night is wild, so calm and dull
A C D
These hearts they race from self control
D Bm G
Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine
A (pause)
We're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all
[Chorus]
D
My hopes are so high that your kiss might
F#m
kill me,
G
so won't you kill me
F#m G
So I die happy
D F#m
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
G F#m
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry
G F#m D
Whichever you prefer
[Verse 2]
D Bm
The words are hushed, lets not get busted
G A C
Just lay entwined here, undiscovered
D Bm
Safe and near from all the stupid questions
G A C
“Hey did you get some?” Man, that is so dumb
D Bm G (pause)
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear
A C
So we can get some
[Chorus]
D
My hopes are so high that your kiss might
F#m
kill me,
G
so won't you kill me
F#m G
So I die happy
D F#m
My heart is yours to fill or burst,
G F#m
to break or bury, or wear as jewelry
G F#m D
Whichever you prefer
[Bridge/Outro]
D G
Hands down this is the best day
D
I can ever remember
A
Always remember
Bm G
the sound of your stereo, the dim of the soft lights,
D A
the scent of your hair, that you twirl in your fingers
Bm (pause) G
And the time on the clock, when we realized it's so late
D A
and this walk that we shared, together
Bm G
The streets were wet and the gate was locked
D A
So I jumped it, and I let you in
Bm G
And you stood at your door with your hands on my waist
D A
and you kissed me like you meant it
Bm G
And I knew, that you meant it,
D A
that you meant it, that you meant it
Bm G
And I knew, that you meant it,
D (hold)
that you meant it
