Capo on 4th fret
               
 
 
 G 
Baby you a song  
  D                   Em7            Cadd9 
You make me wanna roll my windows down and cruise  
 
     Cadd9 
In the beginning 
      Em       D      Cadd9 
I never thought it would be you   
           Cadd9 
When we were chilling   
      Em   D   Cadd9 
Smiling in the photo booth   
         Cadd9 
But we got closer (yeah)  
            Em   D    Cadd9 
Soon you were eating off my spoon   
            Cadd9 
You're coming over   
           Em     D  Cadd9 
And we would talk all afternoon   
 
G 
  And it's dark in a cold December,  
                  D          Em7  Cadd9 
but I've got you to keep me warm  
G                                                  D 
  If you're broken I will mend you and I'll keep you sheltered  
       Em7 
from the storm that's raging on   
  
Cadd9 
Tonight  
Em         D     Cadd9 
Take me to the other side  
      Em        D         Cadd9 
Sparks fly like the Fourth of July  
     Em         D     Cadd9 
Just take me to the other side  
Em          D          Cadd9 
I see that sexy look in your eyes   
                  Em         D 
And I know we ain?t friends anymore  
    Cadd9 
If we walk down this road  
        Em        D 
We?ll be lovers for sure  
    Cadd9  Em           D     Cadd9 
So tonight kiss me like it?s do or die  
    Em          D   G 
And take me to the other side  
 
G                   D/F#     Em 
I'm out of touch, I'm out of love  
                             C/E     D/F# 
I'll pick you up when you're getting down   
           D                 C             D                
And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now   
G                               Em7            Cadd9 
  I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now   
Cmaj7                           Em7                D                  
  I just want to know you better, know you better, know you better now   
  
G             D          C 
 I really wanna love somebody  
 
            Em         D      
I really wanna dance the night away  
G                D 
I know we're only half way there  
          C                             Em            D 
But you can take me all the way, you can take me all the way  
 
Am        D      Em7            Cmaj7add9    
  If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?   
Am       D    Em7            Cmaj7add9  
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity? 
   
G                     Am 
 Not really sure how to feel about it.  
G/B                      C 
Something in the way you move.  
G                       Am 
It makes me feel like I can't live without you.   
Am                 C 
It takes me all the way. 
  
            Cadd9       Em7   G              D 
I want you to stay / If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?  
            Cadd9       Em7   G              D 
I want you to stay / If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?  
 
            G  
I want you to stay 
 
I got my ticket for the long way round  
  Em                      G 
The one with the prettiest of views  
    Em       D     Cadd9 
And I sure would like some sweet company  
       Am        D                  G 
And I'm leaving tomorrow, what do you say?  
 
          Em          Cadd9   G                             D 
I need your love / If our love is tragedy / I really wanna love somebody  
          Em                 Cadd9  G                               D 
I need your love / Stay / If our love's insanity  / I really wanna love somebody

     Gm                  F 
Can we go back, this is the moment   
              Dm                         D# 
Tonight is the night, we?ll fight 'til it?s over   
                  Gm                      F     Dm 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can?t hold us  
                     D# 
Like the ceiling can?t hold us  
     Gm                  F

                  Gm                      F     Dm 
So we put our hands up like the ceiling can?t hold us
