[Intro]
A   Em    G   D
 Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
         A
Can you see it?
                        Em7
The soft glow from the day we met
                       G
There was some kind of angel thread
                 D
Tying us to each other
         A
Did you hear it?
                            Em7
When we kissed, there were Disney birds
                        G
Grab a beer, watch the fireworks
                 D
There's so many colours

[Chorus]
                       A           Em
And everything is so green in the garden
     G               D
Just imagine growing old, yeah
A              Em              G
 I wanna get stoned and fool around with you
           D               A
If that's cool with you, ooh
              Em               G
I wanna get close and slow it down with you
           D                           A
If you're down, then, honey, I'm down too

[Post-Chorus]
A   Em    G   D
 Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2]
         A
Can you picture it?
                 Em7
Chemtrails in a silver sky
                               G
You get so philosophical when we get high
                        D
Think you got a higher power (Think you got a higher power)
           A
Just the two of us
                   Em7
Kicking ass in the universe
                   G
Is it me or does this just work?
                    D
You can call me a flower, you're my honeybee

[Chorus]
              A           Em
And it's so sweet in the garden
       G             D
Just imagine growing old
                                 A
And I don't know, it just feels sexy
              Em              G
I wanna get stoned and fool around with you
           D               A
If that's cool with you, ooh
              Em               G
I wanna get close and slow it down with you
           D
If you're down, then, honey

[Bridge]
               C
What are the chances of us falling?

It's one in seven billion and it happened
    D
It happened
           C                     Bm7
It's the closest you can get to magic
 D
Yeah
A   Em    G    D
 Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
A              Em              G
 I wanna get stoned and fool around with you (Fool around with you)
           D               A
If that's cool with you, ooh (If that's cool with you)
              Em               G
I wanna get close and slow it down with you
               D                           A
So, if you're down, then, honey, I'm down too

[Outro]
A   Em    G    D   A
 Ooh, ooh, ooh
