Tom:
Dm C
I begin to look away
G
This could only lead to one thing
Dm C
Breathing in so hard it hurts
G
We can't stop, can't stop, colliding by design
Dm C G
Tying down my feet to the floor (I get high when I touch your lips)
Dm C G
Leaving you alone on the shore (Sit tight, hold tight)
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
Night after night
F G
Night after night
[Chorus]
Dm C G
Let's kiss before you go away
Dm C G
Two burning stars chasing the day
Dm C
There's a look in your eye
G
You wanna stay
Dm C G
So let's kiss before you go away
[Instrumental]
Dm C G
[Verse]
Dm C
I can feel you closing in
G
This could only lead to one thing
Dm C
When I fall, I lose control
G
We can't stop, can't stop, colliding by design
Dm C G
Standing here so close to your face (I get high when I touch your lips)
Dm C G
Everything else seems out of place (Sit tight, hold tight)
[Pre-Chorus]
F G
Night after night
F G
Night after night
[Chorus]
[Instrumental]
F G
x4
[Bridge]
Dm C G
Standing here so close to your face
Dm C G
Everything else seems out of place
[Chorus]
