[Am]I don’t want [F]nobody, [Am]you lift me [F]up.
[Am]Two more [C]minutes and I’ll be [F]there,
[Am]Filling my empty [C]head, with [F]pictures of you bare.
[Am]A breath to [C]take home with [F]me,
[Am]Take your [C]oxygen, [F]slowly while you breathe.


[Dm]And all the [Am]days in [F]between
[Dm]Still my drug of [Am]choice, the [F]figure of my dreams.
[Dm]And though we [Am]wait for [F]now
[Dm]Even through the [Am]noise, I [F]feel you somehow.


[Am]I don’t want [C]nobody else, [F]
[Am]You lift me [C]off of the [F]ground.
[Am]I want you [C]all to myself, [F]
[Am]Please [C]don’t ever let me [F]down.


[Am]Two more [C]minutes and I won’t [F]care,
[Am]That I broke my back [C]today
[F]Well all my people stare.
[Am]’Cause once [C]I get you in my [F]arms,
[Am]The ice will start to [C]break
[F]The day will fade away.


[Am]I don’t want [C]nobody else, [F]
[Am]You lift me [C]off of the [F]ground.
[Am]I want you [C]all to myself, [F]
[Am]Please [C]don’t ever let me [F]down.


[Dm]And all the [Am]days in [F]between
[Dm]Still my drug of [Am]choice, the [F]figure of my dreams.


[Am]I don’t want [C]nobody else, [F]
[Am]You lift me [C]off of the [F]ground.
[Am]I want you [C]all to myself, [F]
