Verso 1:
E              C#m                 A
Breathe in for luck, Breathe in so deep
            B            D5
This air is blessed, You share with me
E             C#m                A
This night is wild,  So calm and dull
                  B         D5
These hearts they race from self-control
E              C#m                 A
Your legs are smooth as they graze mine
            B   (pausa)
We're doing fine,   We're doing nothing at all.

refrão:
E                                         C#m
My hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me
             A                 B      D5
So won't you kill me, so I die happy
E                            C#m
My heart is yours to fill or burst
            A                B
or break or bury, or wear as jewelery
D5
Which ever you prefer

Verso 2:
1ªparte(riff 1)
E                                  C#m
The words are hushed lets not get busted,
           A            B         D5
just lay entwined here undiscovered.
2ªParte(riff 2)
E                                        C#m
Safe from the earth and all the stupid questions.. 
                A
"hey did you get some?"
   B              D5
Man, that is so dumb. 
E                   C#m            
Stay quiet, stay near, stay close
 A             B                  D5 
they can't hear, so we can get some.


Refrão:

Verso 3:
C#m                    A               E
Hands down this is the best date I can ever remember
     B                   C#m
I'll always remember the sound of the stereo
    A                           E
The dim of the soft lights, the scent of your hair
         B
That you twirled in your fingers
        C#m               (pausa)      A
And the time on the clock when we realized it was so late
        E                     B
And the walk that we shared together
    C#m                    A
The street was wet and the gate was locked
     E             B
So I jumped it and let you in  
        C#m                         A
And you stood at the door with your hands on my waist
        E                  B
And you kissed me like you meant it
    C#m              A
And I knew, that you meant it
         E                  B
That you meant it, that you meant it
    C#m             A                  E
And I knew that you meant it, that you meant it.
