A5           E/G#      Dsus2         A5
 We'll do it all, everything, on our own
A5       E/G#    Dsus2        A5
We don't need anything, or anyone

Chorus: (power chords)

         A5                  E/G#
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
              D5                           A5
would you lie with me, and just forget the world

2nd Verse: (intro riff)

A5       E/G#               Dsus2      A5
 I don't quite, know how to say, how I feel
A5          E/G#              Dsus2         A5
Those three words, I said too much, but not enough

Extended Chorus: (power chords)

A5                       E/G#
If I lay here, if I just lay here
              D5                           A5
would you lie with me, and just forget the world
A5                                    E/G#
Forget what we're told, before we get too old,
          D5                               A5
show me a garden that's bursting into life

Bridge: (power chords)

A5          E/G#          D5               A5
Let's waste time, chasing cars, around our heads
A5          E/G#             D5             A5 (hold)
I need your grace, to remind me, to find my own

Extended Chorus/Outro: (power chords)

A5                       E/G#
If I lay here, if I just lay here,

              D5                           A5
would you lie with me, and just forget the world
A5                                    E/G#
Forget what we're told, before we get too old
          D5                               A5
show me a garden that's bursting into life

A5                      E/G#
All that I am, all that I ever was 
                D5                              A5
is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
A5                                 E/G#
I don't know where, confused about how as well
                     D5                                 A5
Just know that these things will never change for us at all

(intro riff)

A5                       E/G#
If I lay here, if I just lay here,
              Dsus2                        A5
would you lie with me, and just forget the world.
