G
I laid a kiss upon your forehead that night.
G
We laid awake and you wondered why I?d said,
C
?I?d never felt a kiss quite like this before.?
G
You said, ?A kiss is a kiss,?
But it was never like this before.
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
I laid my head upon your chest in the dark.
G
You said to me that if it?s only a spark
C
That can grow to be the nucleus of flame,
G
Well, then a flicker in the dark
Will start a good fire all the same.
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
Em Am
I?d never met a girl who
G Em
Thinks the way that I do
Am D
About the better things,
Am D
Like the reflection of the moon
Am D
Or the mortality of fire
Am D G
And the distance of a star and us.
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
I lay my thoughts upon you in the dark.
G
I lay beside you and listen to your heart beat,
C
Rippling the water on the lake and the stars
G
And the night sky and bright sparks.
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
Em Am
I?d never met a girl who
G Em
Thinks the way that I do
Am D
About the better things,
Am D
And the reflection of the moon
Am D
Or the anatomy of fire
Am D Em
Or the distance of a star and us.
Em G Am Em
La da dum dum dum, We?ll never be alone
Am D
As long as we survive,
Am D
Separated by the miles,
Am D
Far across the land...
Am D G
And on a distant shore, there?s us.
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
G
Oh K, Oh K, Okay
