[Em]I saw you [G]standing there
[C]Sandy blonde hair, the [G]way it came tumbling [Em]down
[G]Just like a waterfall [C] [G]
[Em]And if [G]you need a light, [C]I’ll be the match to your [G]candle
My darling, I’m [Em]ready, to [G]burst into flames for [C]you [G]


[D]I was just [G]coasting till we [C]met
You re[D]mind me just [G]how good it can [C]get


Well [G]I’ve been on fire, [D]dreaming of you
[Am]Tell me you don’t. It [C]feels like you do
[G]Looking like that, you’ll [D]open some wounds [Am] [C]
[G]How does it start? And [D]when does it end?
[Am]Only been here for a [C]moment, but I know I [G]want you
But [D]is it too soon? [Am] [C]
To know that [G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]
There’s nothing [G]I can [D]do [Am] [C]


[Em]And some[G]time around one
[C]We fell asleep to es[G]cape from the sun
And we [Em]woke up to the [G]sound of a storm [C]outside [G]
[Em]We stood [G]at your front door, [C]you looked at me and said
“[G]Baby, this rain changes [Em]everything”
And my [G]heart ran away from [C]me [G]


[D]I was just [G]coasting till we [C]met
You re[D]mind me just [G]how good it can [C]get


Well [G]I’ve been on fire, [D]dreaming of you
[Am]Tell me you don’t. It [C]feels like you do
[G]Looking like that, you’ll [D]open some wounds [Am] [C]
[G]How does it start? And [D]when does it end?
[Am]Only been here for a [C]moment, but I know I [G]want you
[D]Darling, I [Am]do, [C] [G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]


There’s nothing [G]I [D],won’t [Am]do [C]
To see [G]you [D]shine
I’ll [Am]swing for the fences, I’ll [C]run to the line
And it’s [G]high [D]time that you [Am]love me
‘Cause you [C]do it so well to see [G]you [D]shine
I’ll [Am]swing for the fences, I’ll [C]run to the line
And it’s [G]high, [D]high [Am]time [C]


Oh darling, [G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]
Oh darling, [G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]
There’s nothing [G]I [D]won’t [Am]do [C]
There’s nothing [G]I [D]won’t [Am]do [C]
[G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]
Oh Darling, [G]I’m [D]with [Am]you [C]
