[Pre-Chorus] 
(played staccato)
Ab             Bb
But oh how it feels so real
Gm               Cm
Lying here with no one near
Ab                     Bb
Only you, and you can hear me
            Bdim    G/D
When I say softly, slowly


[Chorus]
F        C/E          Dm   Em
Hold me closer tiny dancer
F         C/E               G/A
Count the headlights on the highway
F       C/E               Dm  Em
Lay me down in sheets of linen
F         C/E       G/A
you had a busy day today
repeat
