Capo on 6th fret
              
 
 
verse:
 
C                          G/B 
i don't know where this is going 
C                      G/B 
i don't know how this all came about 
C                           G/B 
but all i know is that i'll never-- 
Em                  D/F#     G       C 
forget the way you looked at me that night 
 
C                        G/B 
maybe someday you'll be leavin' 
C                             G/B 
maybe one day we'll say it's over and done 
          C                               G/B 
but right now, i wanna breathe it in and sing it out 
Em                 D                   C 
i'm not afraid of where it's taking me tonight 
 
pre-chorus:
 
D                    D/F#           G 
and somehow this is not the way i planned it 
D                  B/Eb               Em  D              C 
i didn't think i'd need someone right now, then there was you 
 
 
G        Am  G/B  Dm  C 
let's get away from here 
Cm7                       F7               Bb(maj7)   Am 
away to a universe that's not so close, my dear 
G      Am  G/B   Dm    C 
and in my arms you'll stay 
Am               D             C 
amazing how you take my breath away 
 
 
 
verse:
 
i'm hoping for the real thing 
and i know i find my realness in you 
these nights are never-ending 
to have you here would be so overdue 
 
pre-chorus:
 
and somehow i'm just falling way too quickly 
the moment that you put your hand in mine 
no wasted time 
 
chorus 
 
bridge:
 
Em    D         C             G/B 
can stars determine what will be of you and me 
D                   D/F#               G 
cuz i see stars when i look into your eyes 
Em     D             C              G/B 
can we imagine what it'd be, just you and me 
Am            G/B           C           D 
endless possibilities, in your eyes-- can we 
 
 
Em  D/F#  G  G/B  C 
get away from here 
Cm7                       F7               Bb(maj7)   Am 
away to a universe that's not so close, my dear 
G      D/F#  Em   D    C 
and in my arms you'll stay 
Am               D             Em    A7 
amazing how you take my breath away 
Am               D             C 
amazing how you take my breath away
