[INTRO]
  Fmaj7         Em7
 (Oh, oh, oh)
  Fmaj7       Em7
 Oh, oh, oh
 
 [VERSE ONE]
 Fmaj7
 All this time, I felt completed
                                     Em7
 All this time, I felt I needed you by my side
  Em7
 Even if we'd fight and fight again
       Fmaj7
 The nights with you were so disarming
  Fmaj7 
 Taking all my weapons from me
    Em7
 I found myself powerless with you
    Fmaj7
 I tried to be just like those other girls
 Fmaj7
 Accepting situations, stopped the search
       Em7
 For something brighter, got to stay excited
                   Fmaj7
 Your love will always be my validation
 Fmaj7
 Float in permanent vacation
       Em7
 I'd close my eyes to shut out the sky

[CHORUS]
               Fmaj7
 Reaching these new heights
  Fmaj7                          E7
 Love without someone else feels right
  E7                       Fmaj7
 Love for myself in this new light
                                   E7
 There's something much deeper inside
 
 [VERSE TWO]
 Fmaj7
 Something died the day I fell for you
 Fmaj7
 Pourin' vodka in my apple juice
    Em7
 I smoked the night away
  Em7
 You were my escape
     Fmaj7
 To what I thought was everything
   Fmaj7
 Find someone to lose myself with
      Em7
 But I'm not buying it
  Em7
 And you're not either
  Fmaj7
 Everything is beautiful
  Em7
 Maybe 'cause we're doomed, we're whole
 Fmaj7                             Em7
 Baby, cut me loose, I wanna fall, fall
