Verse:

E5             C#m                 A5                F#maj7       D5/A  Amaj7
Breathe in for luck, breathe in so deep, this air is blessed, you share with me 

E5            C#m               A5                      F#maj7     D5/A Amaj7      
This night is wild, so calm and dull, these hearts they race, from self control 

E5            C#m                   A5                F#maj7(stop)                        
Your legs are smooth, as they graze mine, we're doing fine, we're doing nothing at all. 


Chorus:

E                                       G#m7                   Esus2/A            C#m/Ab   fill 1
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me. So won't you kill me, so I die happy. 

E                            G#m7               Esus2/A         C#m/Ab  
My heart is yours to fill or burst, to break or bury or wear as jewelery, which ever you prefer. 


Verse 2:

E5                                   C#m            A5                  F#maj7  D5/A  Amaj7
The words are hushed lets not get busted, just lay entwined here undiscovered. 

E5                                     C#m                          A5                  F#maj7  D5/A Amaj7
Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions..."hey did you get some?" Man, that is so dumb. 

E5               C#m                         A5(stop)            F#maj7  D5/A Amaj7   
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close they can't hear, so we can get some. 

Chorus

Outro:

C#m/Ab   A    E/B   B


Hands down this is the best day I can ever remember, 
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo, 
The dim of the soft lights, 
The scent of your hair that you twirled in your fingers 
And the time on the clock when we realized it's so late 
And the walk that we shared together. 
The street was wet and the gate was locked 
So I jumped it and let you in and you stood at the door 
With your hands on my waist and you kissed me, 
But you meant it and I knew that you meant it, 
That you meant it, that you meant it, and I knew, that you meant it, that you meant it.
