[Intro]
G  D   A   G

[Verse 1]
  G
Gravity is not enough to
         D
 keep me on your street
Walkin' twenty feet
             A
above the ground
                       G
I need you to hold my hand
Every kiss-me star feels
         Dmaj7
somehow incomplete
Secrets in the corner
          A
 of your mouth
                      G
Things I wanna understand

[Pre-Chorus]

And you said, "Hey before
                   Dmaj7
 we make a big mistake
Is there some place where
         A
 we can go right now?
                           G
I don't think that it can wait"

[Chorus]
G
After last night
Things look different in
      A
the pale moonlight
                      Dmaj7
In the moment, I was hypnotized
                     G
You can go ahead and open your eyes
 Em
Yeah, I see you
                         A
And I think it's gonna change my lifе
                        Dmaj7
Not afraid of gettin' close this time
                     G
You can go ahеad and open your eyes

[Verse 2]
The consequences of dancin'
               D
 with his insecurities
                                A
Tell me what you want and I'll reply
                             G
I can tell the truth, don't bite

[Pre-Chorus]
Then you said, "Hey before
                   Dmaj7
we make a big mistake
Is there some place where
         A
 we can go right now?
                           G
I don't think that it can wait"

[Chorus]
G
After last night
                              A
Things look different in the pale
 moonlight
                      Dmaj7
In the moment, I was hypnotized
                     G
You can go ahead and open your eyes
 Em
Yeah, I see you
                         A
And I think it's gonna change my lifе
                        Dmaj7
Not afraid of gettin' close this time
                     G
You can go ahеad and open your eyes

[Bridge]
Em                   A
After we spent the night
                     D
The moon was shinin' extra bright
                G
We kinda opened up inside
Em                  A
After we spent the night
                    Dmaj7
We crossed into the outside
                G
And manifested something bright

[Chorus]
G
After last night
                              A
Things look different in the pale
 moonlight
                      Dmaj7
In the moment, I was hypnotized
                     G
You can go ahead and open your eyes
 Em
Yeah, I see you
                         A
And I think it's gonna change my lifе
                        Dmaj7
Not afraid of gettin' close this time
                     G
You can go ahеad and open your eyes
     Em
It's always in you
                          A
Really, always, and it's no surprise
                Dmaj7
I was never so hypnotized
                     G
You can go ahead and open your eyes
