Verse 1
G Gsus2 Cadd9 Gsus2 Em7
Oh Florida please, be still tonight, don't disturb this love of mine
D Dsus Cadd9 G
Look how she's so serene, you've gotta help me out
G Gsus Cadd9 Gsus Em7
And count the stars to form in lines and find the words we'll sing in time
D Dsus Cadd9 G
I want to keep her dreaming, it's my one wish, I won't forget this
Pre-Chorus
Cadd9 Gsus D
I'm outdated, overrated
Cadd9 Em7 D
Morning seems so far away
Chorus
G Gsus
So I'll sing a melody
Cadd9
And hope to God she's listening
Em7 D Dsus
Sleeping softly while I sing
G Gsus
And I'll be your memories
Cadd9
Your lullaby for all the times
Em7 D Dsus
Hoping that my voice could get it right
**Now, one guitar repeats the intro and the other does a little diddle.. :D
