Intro:
A E D C#m D
A E D
Came in together, but you held me
C#m
The process walking right through that door, at the entry
D
I can't seem to remember, the lights were so bright
And the discoball blurred in the turn of that night
A E D
But it was perfect I was told the tux was starched and all
Grabbed the glass of punch nervousness, structured by that wall
C#m D
Arms folded, myself I didn't know yet
Until you came over, stood by me, you posted
A E D
You put your hand out like I was stranded
Tried to pull me on that dance floor
I stepped backwards
C#m D
See I wasn't ready yet, but you were my medicine
Showed me that trust through that love that you held me with
A E D
Our backs against the wall as the DJ would spin
C#m
The soundtrack had changed as he played that mix
D
Our lives flashed in front of us, just a glimpse
We were together and experience this
A E D C#m D
A E D C#m D
A E D
You finally pulled me up, I didn't want to
But you filled me up, from the bottom of my heart
C#m D
And as we walked through that gymnasium that I'd been watching
A
Feeling like my chest would explode from my heartbeat
E D
To the middle of the floor I almost panicked
C#m
You put your hand out and I fearfully grabbed it
D
The most beautiful thing that I'd seen on this planet
A
She laughed 'cause you could tell that I didn't know how to dance yet
E D
We started moving
And I, didn't know what I was doing
C#m D
You whispered, "don't you love music
It's such a gift and I'll give it to ya
A
But you gotta use it"
E D
I strayed
You brought me back in
Trying to sneak a flask outside of that gym
C#m D
She said "You don't need that, look within"
She hugged me, looked into my eyes, she gave me a kiss
A E D
And she said "I can't help you, if you don't let me
C#m
You're here to live just be, don't forget me
D
The end of this dance you don't want to regret me, live
'Cause tonight you'll all be set free"
A E D C#m D
A E D C#m D
A E D
Last dance the DJ yelled
Looked into her eyes and I could see myself
C#m D
Slow motion, frozen, toast of this moment
Like there is no morning, like there is no morning
A E D
No emotions, you on my shoulder
Me lead and you follow
As we circle the floor like the globe
C#m
Through this infinite mass
D
Makes us seem so small
With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars
A E D
Not letting go, but I can't hold on
C#m
Fading through my fingertips, watching us fall
D
I try to catch you with my arms
I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms
A E D
To all I ever wanted, please play my song
C#m
And put the record to the needle, don't ever touch that off switch
D
You are perfect, forget that prom dress
My God, seconds away from God yes
A E D
Somebody turned the heat on in this party
Or we're becoming one because I'm melting into your body
C#m D
One being, heartbeating, universe falling
The ground split right between us and that concrete
A E D
Separated my love, I could hear her calling
C#m
Separated, but I could hear her calling
D
Goodbye forever, never see you again
