[Verse 1]
G6
My vision's clear
Someone speaks to me outside
    FM7            Am7
but I don't hear
              F/C
All the world disappears
     D#M7
when you are near
G6
No, I'm not scared

[Chorus]
A#M7
Pick me up, I'm light
     Dm7
as a feather
       D#M7
Oh, my feet don't touch the
        G6
ground when you're around

I hear your voice and
            Dm7
save it for later

When you're around

[Verse 2]

There is water in my
         FM7       Am7
eyes and I'm alive
               F/C
All the things I see
     D#M7           G6
When you're with me we're
meant to be
And it makes me fall
            FM7         Am7
apart 'cause it is true
           Fm7
I feel the wind blow,
you feel it too
D#M7
When I'm with you
