	        (intro)  G    Dsus4/F#         Cadd9    Dsus4/F# 
            Em7     D     Cadd9    Dsus4/F# 

(verse) 
G             Dsus4/F#         Cadd9 
Oh Florida, please be still tonight 
          Dsus4/F#           Em7 
Don't disturb this love of mine 
         D 
Look how she's so serene 
Cadd9             Dsus4/F# 

You've gotta help me out 

G               Dsus4/F#        Cadd9 
And count the stars to form in lines 
              Dsus4/F#           Em7 
And find the words we'll sing in time 
          D 
I want to keep her dreaming 
Cadd9                  Dsus4/F# 

It's my one wish, I won't forget this 

(pre-Chorus) 
Cadd9         D 
I'm outdated, overrated 
Cadd9            Em7  D 
Morning seems so far away 

(Chorus) 
G              D 
So I'll sing a melody 
  Cadd9 
And hope to God she's listening 
Em7               D 
Sleeping softly while I sing 
G                D 
And I'll be your memories 
Cadd9 
Your lullaby for all the times 
Em7              D 
Hoping that my voice could get it right 

(intro / solo) 

(verse) 
G             Dsus4/F#         Cadd9 
If luck is on my side tonight 
            Dsus4/F#           Em7 
My clumsy tongue will make it right 
           D 
And wrists that touch 
Cadd9              Dsus4/F# 
It isn't much, but it's enough 
G             Dsus4/F#   Cadd9 
To form imaginary lines 
            Dsus4/F#           Em7 
Forget your scars, we'll forget mine 
           D 
The hours change so fast 
Cadd9              Dsus4/F# 
Oh God, please make this last 

Pre-Chorus: 
Cadd9                D 
'Cause I'm outdated, overrated 
Cadd9            Em7 D 
Morning seems so far way 

G D So I'll sing a melody Cadd9 And hope to God she's listening Em7 D Sleeping softly while I sing G D And I'll be your memories Cadd9 Your lullaby for all the times Em7 D Hoping that my voice could get it right Cadd9 D Cadd9 D Could get it right
Breakdown (pick): G Dsus4/F# You could crush me Cadd9 Please don't crush me G D G 'Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure Dsus4/F# Cadd9 And I won't let you down G D I swear this time I mean it
G D So I'll sing a melody Cadd9 And hope to God she's listening Em7 D Sleeping softly while I sing G D And I'll be your memories Cadd9 Your lullaby for all the times Em7 D Hoping that my voice could get it right
