[Verse 1]
D
 Strange light revolves
 around you
You float across the room
Em
  Your touch is made
  of something
                           G
Heaven can't hold a candle too
You're made of something new
D
 Let's not get complicated
Let's just enjoy the view
Em
  It's hard to be a human
                         G
So much to put an answer to
But that's just what we do

[Chorus]
D
 God only knows
where this could go
                Em
And even if our love starts
 to grow out of control
                  G
And you and me go up in flames
                         D
Heaven won't be the same

[Verse 2]
D
 I'm having revelations
You dance across the floor
Em
  Beyond infatuation
                   G
How I obsessively adore you
That's what I do
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m              Bm
I   believe, I believe
        G           A
I could die in your kiss
  F#m               Bm
No, it doesn't get, doesn't get
G
Better than this
