I close my eyes and I smile
             Am7               G
Knowing that everything is alright
       G/E
To the core
             Cadd9
So close that door
          Am7         Am7 
Is this happening
     G                G/E
My breath is on your hair
     Cadd9
I'm unaware
                      Am7
That you opened the blinds and let the city in
 G                G/E
God, you held my hand
       Cadd9
And we stand
                    Am7        Am7
Just taking in everything


    G Cadd9
And I knew it from the start
        G
So my arms are open wide
      Am7
Your head is on my stomach
      Am7                         G    Cadd9
And we're, trying so hard not to fall asleep
  G
Here we are
               Am7
On this eighteenth floor balcony
       Am7            G        G/E     Cadd9     Am7              
We're both flying away


       G                     G/E
So we talked about moms and dads
              Cadd9
About family pasts 
                Am7
Just getting to know where we came from
      G               G/E
Our hearts were on display
           Cadd9
For all to see
                           Am7
I can't believe this is happening to me and
   G                       G/E           
I raised my hand as if to show you that I was your's
          Cadd9
That I was so your's for the taking
    Am7
I'm so your's for the taking and
G                               G/E
That's when I felt the wind pick ix
                               Cadu9
I grabbed the rail while choking up
                                 Am7
These words to say and then you kissed me

G  Cadd9
I knew it from the start
       G
So my arms are open wide

And I'll try to sleep
    Am7     G       Cadd9
To keep you in my dreams
              Am7      G        Cadd9           
'Til I can bring you home with me
      Am7     Cadd9
