Intro:
A E D   C#m  D

A           E       D
 Came in together, but you held me
                                                          C#m
 The process walking right through that door, at the entry
                                D
 I can't seem to remember, the lights were so bright
 And the discoball blurred in the turn of that night
             A             E            D
 But it was perfect I was told the tux was starched and all
 Grabbed the glass of punch nervousness, structured by that wall
 C#m                            D
 Arms folded, myself I didn't know yet
 Until you came over, stood by me, you posted
A                  E                 D
 You put your hand out like I was stranded
 Tried to pull me on that dance floor
 I stepped backwards
               C#m                        D
 See I wasn't ready yet, but you were my medicine
 Showed me that trust through that love that you held me with
          A             E          D
 Our backs against the wall as the DJ would spin
                                                 C#m
 The soundtrack had changed as he played that mix
                               D
 Our lives flashed in front of us, just a glimpse
 We were together and experience this

A E D   C#m  D
A E D   C#m  D

              A        E  D
 You finally pulled me up, I didn't want to
 But you filled me up, from the bottom of my heart
            C#m                       D     
 And as we walked through that gymnasium that I'd been watching
                                                   A
 Feeling like my chest would explode from my heartbeat
         E              D
 To the middle of the floor I almost panicked 
                                                 C#m
 You put your hand out and I fearfully grabbed it
                            D
 The most beautiful thing that I'd seen on this planet
                                                                    A
 She laughed 'cause you could tell that I didn't know how to dance yet
  E          D
 We started moving
 And I, didn't know what I was doing
          C#m                    D
 You whispered, "don't you love music
 It's such a gift and I'll give it to ya
               A
 But you gotta use it"
E       D
 I strayed
 You brought me back in
 Trying to sneak a flask outside of that gym
                C#m                      D
 She said "You don't need that, look within"
 She hugged me, looked into my eyes, she gave me a kiss
          A             E       D
 And she said "I can't help you, if you don't let me
                                             C#m
 You're here to live just be, don't forget me
                            D
 The end of this dance you don't want to regret me, live
 'Cause tonight you'll all be set free"

A E D   C#m  D
A E D   C#m  D

A E        D
 Last dance the DJ yelled
 Looked into her eyes and I could see myself
       C#m             D
 Slow motion, frozen, toast of this moment
 Like there is no morning, like there is no morning
A              E          D
 No emotions, you on my shoulder
 Me lead and you follow
 As we circle the floor like the globe
              C#m
 Through this infinite mass
           D
 Makes us seem so small
 With you in my hand like the skyline holds the stars
A             E         D
 Not letting go, but I can't hold on
                                               C#m
 Fading through my fingertips, watching us fall
           D
 I try to catch you with my arms
 I would never take you for granted when I had you in my palms
    A           E        D
 To all I ever wanted, please play my song 
                                                                   C#m
 And put the record to the needle, don't ever touch that off switch
                 D
 You are perfect, forget that prom dress
 My God, seconds away from God yes
A     E               D
 Somebody turned the heat on in this party
 Or we're becoming one because I'm melting into your body
 C#m                      D
 One being, heartbeating, universe falling
 The ground split right between us and that concrete
A     E        D
 Separated my love, I could hear her calling
                                        C#m
 Separated, but I could hear her calling
                 D
 Goodbye forever, never see you again
                         E A Bm F#m
